No worry about 'wild goose chases' if they are a great learning experience in the process! I've learned a lot from trying this. I know this can be done if I convert my prop to an actor/character (i.e.- .cr2). But it's a prop and I'd really prefer it to be in with the Props. Given the size of my libraries in Poser, it's kind of annoying to always be switching back and forth between the 'Characters' and 'Props' libraries. I just want my prop-things in the Props and my animals/people/creatures in Characters! (whine, whine, grumble, grumble!) I'm gonna keep trying to figure this out though.
