so, in fact the problem comes from cloning the groups which themselves are clones.. right..? are the original clones ok when rendering...

have you tried to make the groups after cloning.. or are you cloning the groups...?

well, when you clone your objects in LW layout, the information regarding the textures is only taken from the "master" object... not the other ones...

there is no way to clone from the plugin.. as far a I know.. , but cloning in Maxwell studio works.. that's sure..

(when you clone your objects in layout LW, it is good only fro LW, because clones or straight copied geometry, Maxwell does not know (from LW) and so 1 x 100 polygons or 10 x 10 polygons.. maxwell will always count 100.. this is why I said just mutiply them in Modeler.. and voila.. besides when looking at your image, we talk about a few chairs.. not a thousand..

the real + is going to be when Maxwell supports Instances.. :wink:
