alice-teacher Remodeling Alice objects

[EDIMEK PETER]

Thanks for those suggestions, very helpful to say the least. I'll try it
out as soon as possible.
Its the "kahuna" model in the Hawaii gallery that doesn't have a hierarchy,
and all 'human' object in that gallery has that same problem with 'right
hand orientation'.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Edimek Peter
