Gully, this was my first method, but I need to duplicate these holes sometimes up to 25 times on one part. That's why I was seeking an easier method that would incorporate the hole into the duplication process. Gaieus, thanks for the thread reference - I've read that before, but it obviously didn't stick before. I just made a square hole component and will duplicate both components to achieve the desired effect. Alan, I tried it out, but I still have the original face without holes (see pic). Am I missing something? Thanks all [image: holes.gif]

Gai, you are correct, the material was indeed applied to the group. I've replicated the original circumstances in the attached skp file. It appears as though applying a texture to a group associates the texture with the larger entity, not with the individual face. Thus, to work around the issue, simply open the group and reapply the material to the specific face. stair_tread[1].skp [image: stair_tread.gif]

I use "N" for mu shortcut. Why N? It was the next letter on the bottom of my keyboard not in use I use it constantly.

Hi Nick, where's the link to the desk? It's just what the doctor ordered... ( he he... literally in this case)
