 Hi

Not quick true, just tell the loader not
flatten and clean and it will work.

Note that just assigning a name in multigen will not guarantee that
that name shows up in your Performer scene graph. To keep the
MG name into pf, you need a MG group bead with these children:
at least one non-empty object or group, AND, a polygon, or another
non-empty object or group.

Take a look at `man pfNode', look for pfNode::find.
You can assign Multigen Creator nodes with names (CTRL-J). Once a node
has
a name, you can look it up using pfNode::find.
