I've used the grouping tool a few times in the past with varying degrees of success. Wish I'd have had the foresight to have taken some notes, because now I can't remember how I did what I did. The grouping tool is either not especially 'user friendly' or I'm quite the dumbass (don't be so quick to agree...).

Here is what I need to do: I have a prop of a tailed tuxedo jacket, and I'm trying to remove the lower portions and the sleeves and save the remaining pieces as a collared vest-sorta-thingie. I'm doing something radically wrong, because I keep ending up with individual parts (the chest, a single shoulder, etc.) instead of one solid vest.

Any help or advice you Poser Gurus could give would be most appreciated and rewarded with a heapin' helping of some seriously good karma. Thanks in advance, mi amigos.

Don't think you are a dumbass, 'cos if you are then I'm one too. I'll stick around though hoping someone can enlighten us both. 8) Catlin

Jetboy...working on something Poser.... Hmmm...time to refresh some links.... :)

Sounds like you almost have it. Create a group and asign all the olygons you want to keep. When ready click "Make Prop" or something like that. You must be clicking "Spawn Props" which makes props of all the groups. The stuff you dont want, just leave out of your new group.

Doing it from memory, so please excuse the typos : Open the group tool. Click "new group" Give the group a name Select the polygons you want to delete Once it is done, click "invert selection" Check that the new group has all the polys you want to keep and that it is selected Click "Create prop" Delete the original prop (but keep a copy, just in case) Hope this helps.

Check out Dr. Geep's tutorial on using the grouping tool...it is a graphic tut. Don't have the link handy but is found here in the Poser forums, just do a search on it and should be easy to find. Or get it in PDF format at http://fallencity.net/

Wrong Jetboy (one T) Sorry. Sucess with the Grouping Tool.

Thanks for the link, geep...if it wasn't for some of your great tuts I would probably still be struggling with page 8 of the Poser manual!

My pleasure. Glad it helped. Now you can struggle with page 9, no? (lol) ;=]
