Hey folks, I wanted to pass on some information about JP_Separate.
The other day I discovered that if you try to separate an object while it is under a Model it will not work as expected. If the object you are separating is anywhere under a Model, it will separate one object and then quit, resulting in a termination of the process before the renaming can be done. Apparently I did not test the hierarchy management under a Model back in the day. It works fine under scene root or under a transform or null group that is not part of a Model. If you have any difficulty with this because of a Model structure you can move the model temporarily to scene root and it will work fine. I'll try to have a fix for this in the near future. -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __________________________________________________ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party.

Your way is quickest, but the files are big if I try and keep sharper detail. The alternative which I now have working is to break the 3000 cube model into its individual pieces using Joeys plugin, then Boolean them all back together using a script supplied by Peter B. This is a much slower method when dealing with so many cubes, but it works and generates files that are much smaller. Thanks again for your input.
