I've been following youre instructions as best I can. I'm at the object properties screen, it reads as... ON LAYER 0: default OBJECT NAME: M000 MESH: 387 vertices 129 polygons boundiing box (-331.134, -213.914, -102.115) to (245.345, 987.567, 189.021) ON LAYER 0: default OBJECT NAME: M001 MESH: 252 vrtices 84 polygons bounding box (-31.215, 199.346, 66.7818) to(28.5771, 252.106, 126.134) MESH TOTALS: 2 meshes, 639 vertices, 213 polygons Anyway, the question is; is the by layer name, do you mean "ON LAYER" or "OBJECT NAME"?, and if you mean "ON LAYER", do I just make up a name or where do I get it from. If not, then then I'm lost. IP: Logged

Most of what you said, answers my next series of questions regarding animation and collision. The only other one would have been the sound. But these are moot points if I can't get the boat into the WAD. again, thanks for the help O' KEEPER OF ALL KNOWLEDGE. IP: Logged
