Hi.. I know from previous threads that some people have had a problem with lots and lots of empty morph dials appearing when they import V3 into P5 - but has anyone else had this problem within p4? I've been working on a pic tonight, and 'injected' just a few head and chest morphs. But when I went to use them, lo and behold, I found myself having to scroll through endless empty dials to get to the ones I wanted. I thought V3 problems were unique to P5, but apparently not. It's not exactly end-of-the-world stuff, but can anyone tell me if there's a way to avoid this happening, or how to get rid of those empty dials once they show up? Thanks! Morph

You can try using Dial Cleaner - a free download from DAZ. Good luck with it; it doesn't always work. It's supposed to get rid of the empty dials but it's very hit and miss, with the emphasis on "miss" in my experience. But it's free so I guess it's worth every penny. ;)

Check out the Python Forum. I posted a request and ockham wrote a script to hide the dials. I was having the same problem.. Guess it's no problem for people that don't do any animating, but it's a lot of dials to scroll through if you are animating V3. It doesn't write to the pz3 so everytime you open a file with V3 you need to run it to hide the dials. Ed

Yes I got the empty dials now, did not at first. I first noticed them after I parented a sphere to Vicky3's hand. Now even if I open a former pz3 the empty dials are there. Have not been working with Vicky3 much lately so have not really checked it out on my own. I am using PPP4 on a Mac

I've found that if Vicky has anything parented to her, dialcleaner doesn't really work. But if I use it on a .cr2 that is just Vicky3 it works a treat.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm starting to feel disguntled with the whole state of the Poser world at present. First P5 problems, now V3 problems... I think in future I'm going to try not to buy ANYTHING new until companies get their products licked into shape. I'm getting tired of paying to beta-test stuff...

SamTherapy, Download DialCleaner again, we've updated it. Version 090 didn't account for a poser anomaly and always performed a conditional evaluation of the hidden flag before it checked for indexes. Version 095 changes the initial conditional evaluation to be of the indexes and thus what will be hidden when running a cr2/pz3 through it. -Rob
