I've investigated a bit further and seem to have discovered a couple of limitations. Firstly the script runs fairly slowly. I enlarged Posette by a factor of 100 using Scaler and then converted her into 3DS format using 3D Exploration, and then imported that file into GMax. I then ran your script. This took about 15 minutes, and I've got a fast machine. I can't be precise about the time as I went away to watch the TV while I was waiting. This delay is a nuisance but tolerable because you'd only go through this process when the figure/object is just about finished. It's ok to use the gmax format for intermediate stages. The second, and more significant problem, is that GMax wouldn't let me select the whole of the file for copying/pasting. This is a bit of a show stopper if you want to work with large files. I don't know what the maximum size is but I'd guess it's much less than 10% of Posette. JoatMon2, have you discovered this limitation, or is it some characteristic of my machine's setup? Maz
