Default Can't find specific geometry in scene....

I have a fairly complex architectural scene that I'm rendering. I'm having trouble sending the animation to the render farm b/c it's sending an error message before the render that a lot of objects don't have UVW mapping. Unfortunately, I can't just press 'don't display message again and render' on the render nodes. So, If I begin to go back and apply maps to the specific objects, and go into my 'Select by Name' I can't even find some of the specified objects? How do I find these objects? Any suggestions?

The objects might be nested in groups. Try opening all the groups in your scene and then click on the selection set.

That did it. I just hate how in Max it doesn't display all the other objects that are within the groups, it just displays the group! So, on one specific building I selected all, ungrouped it, and found all the specific geometry that I needed to uv map.
