I'm having a terrible time with what seems like a glitch in Poser. When inserting a normal bodystyle figure after a muscular figure, the normal one gets blown up to the first character's size. And vice-versa! Has anyone had this problem? Is it a glitch, or am I missing something? Newest Patches, Win2000, 256MB RAM w/AMD K62 500

Are you adding a figure or replacing a figure? If you are replacing a figure, you need to make sure the "keep current proportions" box is UNchecked. If you are adding a figure, I don't know what to say. What muscular figure are you using?

I have one character set to 1.516 on the SUPERHERO parameter dial and the other I'm just adding in with its SUPERHERO parameter set to zero. The new character will blow up to a 1.516 measurement but the dial remains as zero. Then I'll have to choose each body part individually and set them to -1.516. It happens in reverse as well. I've tried everything I could think of! No luck. Any help on this matter from you or anyone would be a GREAT help!!!

I tried it with a P4 nude male, set the body superhero to 1, and bumped up a few of the individual parts to superhero 1. Then I added another P4 nude male, and he came in "normal". I don't know what to say. Maybe someone else has an idea. I hate to tell you to reload Poser, but that might be what it takes.

Another thing I noticed was, and I don't know if this makes a difference but, the second character comes falls into the first characters body zone. I am using characters that I have modified and saved as my own, so some of them have different body styles. Could that be an issue? I reloaded Poser six times already and that hasn't changed the "glitch".

When you add one of the stock Poser characters, it is placed center, so it will put one on top of another unless you move them first. It doesn't hurt anything, though. You just have a harder time selecting one instead of the other. I haven't got a clue what could be wrong.

Isn't this one of the problems that the patch is supposed to have addressed? Full Body Morphs in out-of-the-box P4 were affecting all the figures loaded instead of just the target figure. Not sure, but try the final patch.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.

I've always been confused on the "final" patch thing. The last patch I installed was version 118 from Ghost Effects site. Is the one posted on Metacreations newer than that one?
