The help was nice but this is what I have found out::

When Performer's standard loader loads in models it tends to remove
group names unless there is multiple siblings (of group types) under the
group then it keeps the name unchanged. Groups at the bottom of tree
will allways lose its name. I have not tryed but I think that polygon
and vertices will allway lose their names.

I tracked the load process to pfdLoadFile.c .

I rember seeing the load code for the diferent format loaders some
whare and I would like to modify the loader so that the group names
stay and control how the model is loaded.

any and all suggestions would be thankfull

 Thanks:: Garrett
