Hi Michael, Welcome to 3ds ! What I do to catalogue my meshmaps (and you will collect a LOT of them in short time) is as follows : 1. sort them in specific directories under your meshmap directory (wood,stone,…) 2. Once in a while scan them with a program that creates thumbnail pages (I do it with gifdesk 'cause I use mostly gif's and it has a script language) (Thumbs Plus for windows is nice too for all those mouse freaks out there) 3. Print a catalog or name your thumbnail pics #wood1.gif, #wood2.gif, so they will always stand on top and place them in the matching directories. This way I can always call VIEW IMAGE from 3ds and view a lot of my maps at once. BTW there are some IPAS routines that tried the thumbnail stuff inside 3ds, but for my part, i can't use 2 lines of pics on the upper third of a screen and buttons and descriptions waste the rest of the space… Bye Michael
