James, << Am I missing something?>> doesn't seem like it – You run Masign – then hit OK – then click on a sphere in the active viewport. If you're still having problems, here's a work-around: When you run Masign, note the color numbers of the fusion values. Then hit Modify/Object/Change Color and select that color # for your object. Because Mshape recgonized reference spheres based on their color, you can change their colors by selected groups as well, and everything will work fine. I often change colors by selected groups because I work with 100's of reference spheres at a time. another note: the detail of your reference spheres does not matter at all – Mshape takes only the center point info and the radius value when it creates the meta object. So, I keep the detail of my reference spheres at 10 segments – which is just enough detail to work comfortably with. -Kyle
