How do I go about grouping elements and editing the material zones for export?

With a little search and experimentation I believe I may have figured it out.

Not sure if this video:

addresses your question, but if it does, he explains it better than I could.

I think that tutorial that Robyn posted might the easiest way I could think of to assign materials to different objects At current Blenders UV mapping does not have and option of grouping object parts like the old UVMapper software has or like the naming material zones like Hexagon has since both these apps were used closely with both Poser and Daz back in the day and I am not sure if any of the UV paid addons have any similar features I will look since I do own 2 of the major UV addons for Blender

It worked out very well since I made the Amphitheatre one zone and the ivy another ... And a Friend helped me label and it is perfect ... well for me it is. :)

I am so glad you were able to resolve it and as long as it is perfect to you that is all that really matters in the long run :thumbsup:
