Thanks. Making 1 group I know. Its subdividing that I needed, & I'll use the detach command-thanks. As far as the matireal, the Infographica CD model is in .max format, & each matireal 's map will probably need a redo. I will be getting 3DS max soon (ships today) & will investigate how well maps export. I'm not very happy how Poser & Bryce require remapping an exported objects matireal that was already professionally mapped (in .max format). Bongo said he can import the original max file (exported to .obj using Viz) into Vue3 as is. Regards, Pack
