Have a look in the help files for this. under 'UVW modifier' What I would do is add the UVW modifier to one of your elements size it so that the map is at the right scale (use the BOX type), then in the modifier stack of that element right click the UVW map and copy it. Select the second element paste it on to the second elements modifier stack and choose the copy option not the instance. Good luck _________________ Anthony Lester Architecture Visualisation www.visual-eyes-media.co.uk
