Thanks. That is correct, the file does not even appear in the Poser Dialog box when I go to Import-3ds in Poser 4.02.116 (OS9) Perhaps I should send you one of the files to see if you can open it. I did run one through MacConverter (a fabulous program in my opinion!) and it does NOT change to PC 10101 as do PC OBJ files. All the 3ds files I have tried came from the same free site and are all Space oriented models. Perhaps I should go to my archives and look for a different 3ds file. Thank you Martin! Eric Walters
