I have just tried once more for you and had no problem. This is what I did: 1.)I loaded a totally unmapped OBJ called "bench.OBJ" from C:unzippedbench folder. 2.)I mapped it with wood.jpg which is in my Vue/bitmaps/wood folder 3.)Saved the bench as "bench.vob" in the Vueobjectsfourniture folder. 4.)Closed Vue 5.)Re-opened Vue with a new scene 6.)Called back "bench.vob" and it came with all its mapping. Have you done something different? It always works great this way. ??? :-)Guitta
