I can't track down any of the Python Script sites... I am hoping one of you people would be kind enough to write me a script seeing as how I don't understand this stuff at all... often I build props in Poser from primatives... I would love a script that would let me check off the primatives from a list to delete them once I have exported them and imported back the fused composit rather than having to select them one by one and delete individually them fom the pull down or hierachy window. even better would be some kind of neat interface that would make giving the primatives new group and material assignments easier then using the grouping tool... something like a table or dialog box with the prop name and then an entry field for the new group and another for the new material name. But I don't know if this is feasble. You have no idea how happy this would make me... what do you think?

found this in old thread. http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=1786823 an idea from shadownet: creat a ball prop... and turn it into a figure like "!delete ball" using by taking to the "setup room" in PP or P5 and saving it to the figures librays back in Pose Room. Load the !delete ball figure and parent all the props you want to delete by dragging them into it in the hiarchy window. and then chossing Felete Figure from from the Figure Menue with !delet ball selected. Works bueaty. Some way to group and assign material from a dialog rather than those pop-ups would bee keen though.

Whenever I make props from primitives I just export the whole group - then I use File -> NEW - and re-import the fused object. For some security I "SAVE AS..." the whole scene befor I press NEW. Willy

Oh, BTW, Ockham, is there a way to uncheck the "smooth polygons" checkbox for all the bodyparts of a large item? I used Georges Castle and found out all was blown up because I like to have "smooth polygons" on in the render options (as there are persons in the picture). Willy

Hi, thank you okam for your great stuff. For the materials here is what I am after... I build a prop out of all these primatives and before I export it as a .obj to fuse it I want to set the materials for each ellement. Right now I have to go to grouping select the primative, create a group, select all facets, assign material... do this for each primative then export. Now when I import I have a fused object with seperate materials though sometimes some primatives are grouped under one material as metal, plastic, wire etc. (I am making robots). What is difficult is doing this assigning of materials with the grouping tools as my compositions can get complex... what would be super neat is a script that would let me select prop primatives one by one and simple type in a single group and a single material for that prop.... it would be especially cool if all props could be accessed from a list with a single invocation of the script then I would only need the grouping tool for the rare occassion of picking out individual facets. Does this make any sense? http://poserpython.com/ and http://www.poserpython.com/ have not been working on my browser for sometime but okams site is coming through great. Thank you.

ockham, sorry about misspelling your tag :(

Wow! Thank you ockham! your scripst I'm finding to be amazingly usefully. Terrific!
