So i have these library items (conforming) that are "locked" when loaded into Poser. Will not allow me to unlock them. Is there some way I can get these unlocked? I have no problem editing the CR2 if that is where my solution lies (I just haven't spent enough time figuring out what all that stuff in there means). tia, e.d.

{ version { number 4.01 } actor BODY { channels { } locked 0 } figure { locked 0 } } Not tested, but try this as a pose file. There is a "locked" at the end of the channels section block for each group, but I am guessing that either the one in BODY - or the one in figure is the one you want. You can test a pose with only one of the two in it and see which it is, if this works.

Jagger is probably right about the location of the locking, but just in case he is not: Another aproach is to open the file in a text editor, and do a globall search and replace of "locked 1" with "locked 0", this should catch everything (unless someone has inserted an extra space between "locked" and "1").

Yeah, that's a problem with the parameter lines: there are all too often multiple spaces between the parameter and setting (e.g.: locked 1). A better, but most annoying approach, would be to open the file and search for all instances of "locked" and then change the 1's to 0's manually where needed. The best approach would be to write a script or little proggie that does the work for you. It is actually simple to write one (I already have code to parse an entire .pz3 file) ;) BYS

heyas; how are you trying to unlock them that it doesn't work? if you grab a body part, and it says (locked) and you try to object: lock (unlock toggle), and that doesn't work; it is because the body part is not locked, the figure is locked. go to.... erm... it's down on the edit or figure menu, where the show/hide figures and stuff is. unlock the figure, and all the body parts on it will also be unlocked. if you grab a part and it is locked, and you can't unlock the figure; that's because the figure isn't locked, the object is, so in that case use the object: lock menu. if none of that works, that's the weirdest thing i've ever seen. i dunno, maybe they set it to locked 4?? :)

Yes I think Bloodsong is probably right, I was wearing my hackers hat, and forgot that you can actually chainge SOME things in the Poser interface :)

Man do I feel dumb... it was right there in the interface! Thanks bloodsong. e.d.

heh heh :) glad i could show off. er, i mean help! glad i could help! :)
