Does anyone know of a quick solution for adding the same Material to ALL Objects and all their associated Material Groups in a scene? Is this at all possible? It seems like it would be feasible via Python scripting. My hopes are for a single/double click option. Thanks.

If you are using P5, you can apply the same material to all groups withing a single object in the materials room. After setting up a single part with the relevant material, right-click on the background and hit "select all". Thenm r-click again and hit "apply to all". If you have many objects to apply the material to, save the material in the library, then step through the objects, applying that material in the same way (I don't know of a faster way of doing that bit - I'd be interested in finding out if there is one). Cheers, Diolma

there is another simple way set up your scene exactly as you want it. export EVERYTHING as a single wavefront object then import it- it will be all welded together and take just one texture on everything :)

You know, I DID actually considered exporting as a single object. It seems to be THE quickest easiest way. I found a Material Setting for making superb line renderings of scenes, and setting every material individually was/is absurd. Thanks for the suggestions all!
