Oh; good show. I'm still working on how to make multiple chains of objects as single figures (giving me trouble...grrrr....), but what i did was create an object in 3DS Max, export it to 3ds format. Then I imported in Poser, opened the hierarchy window, clicked the object, and chose "Create new Figure". Then it can be pulled from the "New Figures" Portion of the Figures menu. That way, I can create a new file, and open the figure from New Figures, and apply IK. I am having trouble chaining them together and saving as a single figure, though. Grrrr.... -- CM
