Steve, Remember my Johnpaul.fig. Here is a suggestion I got from David Jefferson. This is amazing! 2 step solution for creating multiple actors in one file without the need to recreate the characters. It works. No need to even touch the attributes file. The figures show corectly in Action and Directions. They render without a hitch! Here is what you when you have 2 existing figures you want to use as a single actor. (Dave's message): >>>What you do is open Character and create a file called johnpaul.fig. Have a ghost.seg at ground level – attatch two other ghost segs to this in the positions you want john.fig and paul.fig to stand. Now rename the segment path of one of these last two segs to the path of john.fig – for example c:\master\john\john.fig (or John:john.fig – both work). Rename the other ghost to the path of paul.fig – for example c:\master\paul If you do not see the figures in Action look carefully at the path names, if these are not 100% acurate then they will be ignored.
