Gary will correct me if I am off-base here, Martin, but I coulda' swore I heard him or someone say (in effect) that as soon as a mesh is imported into MAX, it pretty much "smartens up" right off the bat. I'm suspecting that during the import process the mesh is transformed into MAX's proprietary procedural mesh structure and is then completely transformable by MAX's Modifier's, Space Warps, etc. What you probably won't be able to do is call it's "Stack", or previous levels of transformation like a "native" MAX mesh until it is transformed in some way by MAX itself. I'm pretty sure this is what I understood. If I'm wrong about this, hopefully someone like Gary, Jack, Jeremy, Steve, Jonas, or Phil will straighten me out! <g> And if this is *not* the way it works, I'd like to add it to the MAX wishlist…:-) -Alan
