On a PII-400 with 128Mb of memory, I've had 6 figures, fully clad (clothing displayed in wireframe)and a whole bunch of props at the same time. Marque: there are a couple of tricks to make life easier when you've got multiple figures. Firstly, pull down the WINDOWS menu as you bring each figure in and, in the hierarchy editor click on the figure's name (usually something like "figure 1") and change the name to something more helpful. FIG1 LBOOT or something like that for the first figure's left boot. This make's grabbing the right figure much easier. Secondly, hide clothing and figures you're not working on - pull down the FIGURE menu, or select a body-part and hit Ctrl+H to hide the entire figure. This reduces "clutter" in the window and allows you to work on one figure exclusively. Use FIGURE|Show All Figures to get everything back and visible. Hope this helps Paul
