Thanks guys I will give some of those a try, prt ended up not working despite it supposedly being supported by Naiad.
Ah the joy of working with unsupported technology...

This is because this seems to be the only format that the Naiad emp converter works with from ICE. All works fine but I don't seem to be able to get point velocity into Maya, which is the whole purpose of the exercise... I have tried adding velocity in the tree, even using names that Maya would recognise (like WorldVelocity and AngularVelocityPP) Any help greatly appreciated. N -- -=T=-
