Sandy, I think your picture is really charming, I love the snow indents. As far as the Old Pump goes,if you highlight the object file, and go to the summary window in Vue, you will see a list of separate materials for the Old Pump, there should be materials listed as, Base, Bucket, Hardware and Metal (which would be the actual pump), it is broken into three groups, Bucket, Buckethandle and OldPump. But in Vue to apply different materials that is how you should apply them, from the summary window. Anyways, you will love Vue as I am sure you are finding out, it is wonderful and you did a great job. Really love the picture. Sharen SAM'S 3D
