If you want to select a group of things (say the jacket), hold down the shift and control and the left mouse button, select them all, then go to the grey button in the list beside the figure, click, select a color (blue) and type in a 'family name' (jacket-ex.) for that. Go to A in the same list and type in 'jacket'. Now you have 2 ways to select that jacket again--go down to the selection button at the right bottom of screen and it will bring up all the family colors. You will see 'blue' and jacket and you click on that and you have now selected the jacket easily if you need to work further with it. This is a little tedious, but once you get used to it, its easy. You will have to find the parts by watching what gets selected as you do this but you'll soon find that perhaps the jacket in this case if all the '2s'--chest2, thigh 2, or whatever. Hope this isn't confusing. Rita--my guess about the rest of the figure getting the 'hair' texture is that you have the whole figure selected. That's the only way everything can get that texture. Just do control/click of the hair ONLY and make sure it is 'selected' (red probably) and then go into material lab/pic library and apply the texture. Hope this isn't too confusing. If anybody wants more clarification--Spike's tutorial addresses this or I will be glad to do a 'printscreen'. Just a note of caution--be sure you have everything UNselected but the parts you want included in the 'description--color/name. You can do 'unselect all' in that control/click menu or click in the window outside the figure's 'control' box. Diane B
