hello Pierre,
I have used ObjectLoad to do what you are asking about. I think that
any loader will fit your purpose. The key to naming your objects is that
the name must be in the geometry file or constructed when the geometry
is made. I suggest looking at ObjectFile or another format that represents
your data and follow the same logic. You can write a getName method to
read the part name or make one up as you count your input (part_1, part_2
etc).
HTH
Pierre
