Just for a little more info, I think what Eric was refering to is the actual geometry parts in simlab not being assigned any type of name, per the import



Simlab is assigning it's own tree parent elements the names, etc. I havnt follwed through enough to discover if there is any benefit to assigning this portion of the objects names based off of the import, though it would be a simlab request to deal with it.

Because its animation and rigging, those elements would be restructured in the parent/child relationship anyway, and then you would be assigning the geo elements a name for that, based on the restructure. So they would need "renamed" anyway?

Anyway, Maybe we'll ask in the simlab forum their reasoning for this import convention.

Hi Burr, what I thought eric was asking about was that he was expecting to see the styles list in that same "Object tree" panel and didn't know that you had to go to a whole different panel (the materials one) to see them instead... From your help I think he's probably got enough information now.

Hi Michael and BurrMan

Yes, I played with it yesterday and with your helpful suggestions can now easily make and identify all the materials of the same style as a group and render them properly.

Thanks for your help with this.

cheers,
eric
