Problem editing imported models

I have recently bought Apprentice HD and have got some models in MilkShape format.

I can use MilkShape to convert them to FBX and then import them into Apprentice. I can even export them to Torque.

Everything works - even the animation.

My problem, though, is that I can not see anyway of editing the model in Houdini. I can't see any primitives to edit.

All I can see is lots of NULL nodes that seem to have ‘controls’ and ‘points’ - but no geometry.

I have searched the FAQs, the online documentation and the Forums - can anyone help?

You'll need to post an example so we can see what you are dealing with.
Are these Null Objects? Have you gone inside any of these?

I simply applied a ‘convert to polygon’ to it - now I can edit it ok.

thanks for your time anyway.

sorry could not put a screenshot up - it does not seem to like .bmp files
