Hi thank. You have right, but the resizing does not happens every time. Created two standard boxes rescaled one to yscale=10% x=200%, added a hat from the clothing props folder. Parented it to the rescaled box and the resized to yscale=10% x=200%, then parented it to box 2 at original size, and it changed back. But if I move or resize the hat first it will not resize. Also if you move or resize after it has been parented it will not return to its original size after been parented to box 2 or universe. I learned something, and I know how to fix my scene, I have a podium made of a resized box and a resized posable prop, I parented props before moving them and moved them later. Then I tried to parent them to the podium instead of the character I got the problem. I also understand posers problem, because it is not able to remember the previous value on a resized prop who first is resized by the parenting and then by the user. But I find this very confusing, and non intuitive. One Idea has been to use the Inherit bends to control this. I have found useful in some situations like adding a prop belt or collar to a character. I assume that is that it is for. It could also been used for scale with one other prop or a limb of a character. That will not damage anything with the bend with function only expand it. Sometimes the scale with function it nice, for added decorations or covers, but most time I dont want it, especially not on primitives. Or then you resize a room or table and start adding objects to it. Magne
