Faces can belong to more than one group. * Actually, if you think about this is already a feature embedded and probably frequently used in Poser's Group Editor. Here it has always been possible and practical to define multiple groups for morphing, texturing, bone cutting etc. and to rely on that fact that when you create a new group for a specific purpose and won't effect the existing groups through some implicit mutual exclusivity. As far as the other object format parameters are concerned, I've always assumed (my bad) that while the file format is quite "featured", Poser probably only supports the subset that describes polygon meshes (including, of course ignoring vertex normals). Certainly I would be very surprised if there is actually code to handle splines and patches and such like nestling in the Poser core, unnoticed and unused for all the years. And, after all, it's not just a matter of being able to interpret the file format but really depends on whether the functionality is embedded in program to actually make use of the data. One thing I've never checked is whether the P5 dynamic hair (or guide strands) actually export in .obj format, and if so how they are defined. Bill
