well well... at the right of the menu at the bottom of the interface - the one that can be the anim control menu or object select menu - there is a pointing down arrow and under that you'll find an option to select meshes, groups. You can then begin the tedious task of selecting each poser body item one by one but adding to the selections by keeping the shift key down (PC). Also you can select multiple objects with the ctrl-click method you mention but also keep the shift key down as well as the ctrl keyt and you can move around and add to the selection. Also tedious certainly. I can't think of another way - solo mode in someway, or maybe select other objects and set their attributes to locked or hidden.... One way I can think of for the future so you don't have this mess is this: after you ungroup the poser body and while everything is still selected, assign a family color to the lot (by clicking the solid colored box in the object menu). Then at that object selection menu at bottom of interface you could select them all by that family. Whew! - Dave The
