Leadnut: If it doesn't have the little "E" then it is not an "exportable" mesh. It may have some exportable elements, but it may also contain metaballs or boolean objects as well, in which case it won't export. if you want a good import/export and modeling app you might look into AMAPI3D, it has probably the largest amount of export options. Stephen Ray; I've NEVER had a crash of the type you described. I import Poser OBJ files and export parts of them all the time without crashing my G4. In fact I did it again (when I saw what you had written) just to be sure. No crashes, no problems. Your crashes might be caused by system conflicts or by a corrupted installation of Bryce clay; I don't think anyone has mentioned UVMapper or CV points in this thread, but you could be working on a level that is unknown to me. Rock on dude! ;-)
