I've created textures in the document and tried to assign them using the texture tag and 'pred tag' to place them after the selection tag I wanted to link them to, but they all just map to the entire object. How do I link to just the correct polygon selection tag?

Thanks,
David

Well, this is where some knowledge of how this is done without using plugins comes in handy...
Selection tags and texture tags aren't connected by position in the tag list. You need to set the TEXTURETAG_RESTRICTION string of the texture tag to the name of the selection tag. (Search for "TEXTURETAG_RESTRICTION" and you'll find example code in this forum.)
