  Moving to 3d Q&A.
  
  You can just fire up material editor and drag & drop the material on the selected faces.

  Comco: i entered it manually in the back end

  Theres also a little button in the material editor that will fill the selected opject (or faces) with the current material.
  
  You might need to add a UV map for your obect to render properly though

  You could go in poly mode and fillet the wires, but probably the easiest thing you could do to affect the whole saucer at once is use a meshsmooth modifier on it, or turbosmooth.

  Dont forget to look at your smoothing groups in editable poly or use edge loops. (should be a few tuts on google) I think max has a tut on using smoothing groups for turbosmooth or meshsmooth. The smoothing groups will allow you to define how things are smoothed off so you can retain hard edges. Without a wire I cannot suggest other methods.

  Each day we draw closer to the end.
