Thanks, Neftis. I appreciate it, but in the meantime I found the solution: If you select the skullcap, and change it's parent to "universe", you can safely delete the main figure without the hair prop getting messed up. Making the figure invisible was a good idea, but it wouldn't have worked for what I needed. The problem was, I had already exported the figure without hair to another app (3dsMax) as OBJ, set it up in a scene scene there, textured it, and at the last minute decided I wanted dynamic hair for it. Now I do use BodyStudio to export entire PZ3 scenes to 3dsMax, including dynamic hair and cloth, but in this instance, I didn't want to export anything but the hair as I had created it in Poser, so that it would fit nicely when exported to the scene with my OBJ version of the figure. It's a little hard to explain fully, but that's the reason I couldn't just make the figure invisible.
