Re: Is There a Way to Shade Grouped Objects All at One Time? 2004-02-13 - By ccoles_avengers

Thanks again, Doug, for the good advice. I checked this out when I
wrote last and so far, it seems to work fine. What I do is that I
change the name of the default shader before I drag the group into the
browser just in case there may be a problem.
Again thanks and have a good one.
