thanx a lot for your help, Clint and Willf. I posted the Dr. Grip pen, but obviously the colors aren't right. I exported the object as a 3DMF to do something with it, and then I lost the document (i guess I accidentally threw it away) so I only could work with the 3DMF, which only allows me to work in the mesh form editer. The UV mapping was a little weird, so I am going to try it on a different model to see if it works better. Thanx again!! -Adam
