Yes, it is when i export a sketchup made model (exported as .3ds) into Bryce 6.
Let's say I make a wheel, making a component out of a slice, and then copying and rotating slices until i have a wheel. Then I group it, and export it. When it is imported, the grouping information is lost (this only happens with "components"; objects made without components, then grouped, work as planned) and I have to select every face in the "component", which is impractical.
Thanks for your interest in helping me.
