Doug, It took me awhile to realize this myself so don't feel bad for missing it. (this is with a poser 3ds export) The object is there but it's very, very small. (it will appear as a little gray dot in the center of the different view boxes) You have to zoom in quite far just to see it. It can be scaled up in the modeling room but then, in the assembly room, it will have to be scaled down. With some other obj files that I've imported, the reverse has been true. They are absolutly huge. In the modeling room I have to zoom out, sometimes to 10 percent, to see it all. I then scale it down to work with it but have to scale the object up once I'm back in the assembly room. Hope this helps. Mark
