     I just discovered the fnction pfdMeshGSet !!!
     So my problem SHOULD be resolved ...
     But :
     I tried this function and it did not work because my model consists of
     non-indexed PFTRISTRIPS primitives, and as it is said in the reference
     manual, pfdMeshGSet does only work on geosets with non indexed PFTRIS
     primitives .
     What can I do to make the same operation as pfdMeshGSet on non-indexed
     PFTRISTRIPS primitives of my geoset ??

     My model comes from the loading of an iv file.
     I am working with Performer 2.0.1

     Thanks in advance

     Mike
