time for my next problem. I have a model that i imported from a cad program, I then made all the nurbs into polys. I grouped all of the thousands of polys and made layers of these groups e.g. left front tyre, main body etc.
My problem is that I cant seem to shade these groups. I try to put the material on in about a thousand different ways e.g. draggin from the hypershade, right click on the grouped polys and assigning a material etc.

below is a picture of my setup ?

this is probably basic but im a newb so please help :)

IF they are on layers, make sure that none of the layers are turned off, or that they are checked on the refrence or template area. Otherwise they will be ignored. You Outliner looks clean, I don't see anything from that.

please give some more info's.

first place to look at problems is the script editor. what does he say? if there is an error he will told you which it is, and if the material gets assigned he will told you too.

does the mesh have the lambert1 assigned ??
