Dmentia I presume you are using the latest version of Steve Cox's UV mapper. Poser objects come with inherant UV mapping. E.g. the poser P4 Female nude has a particular version of planer mapping inherant in it (an unwrapped version that loads up in UV mapper when you load the model object). If you want to change the mapping type (after loading up the obj) select "new UV map" under the EDIT MENU in UV Mapper and choose what you want. However, if you want to apply this new map to the object you must save both the new model and map (under FILE MENU in UV Mapper), if you just save just the map you will get distorted mapping or none at all on the original model, which still reverts to its inherant mapping type and UV co-ordinates. Very Important: Do not overwrite your original model by saving the new model with the same name as the original. Save both the new model and new map under a new name. The above is just an intro to the subject. There are lots of more advanced things that one can do in UV Mapper such as different mapping types on the same object and all on the same map and much more, but I hope what is here answers your question.
