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.)
