Thanks for your response. I figured that Carrara wouldn't handle layered files but you've given me a great idea. When I bring the layered file into Carrara, though, I can see the handles on the outline of the Texas map and on each of the counties so I thought that maybe I could separate those counties in Carrara somehow (like make them into their own layer). I'll try to bring them in individually. Thanks again for helping this newbie. Mpal
