If you want to save multiple figures to the Figures pallet and have them load unparented, you can save them parented, then text edit the resulting cr2 to remove the parenting.

Use Set Figure Parent to parent all other figures to to the body of one figure. Save the parent figure to a pallet using the "Whole Group" option.

Open the resulting cr2 in a text editor. Search for the string "actor BODY:". Eventually you should come across somthing that looks like this (the actor number ":#" may be diffrent):

actor BODY:2<br></br>    {<br></br>   name    GetStringRes(1024,1)<br></br>        off<br></br> bend 1<br></br>      dynamicsLock            1<br></br>   hidden          0<br></br>   addToMenu       1<br></br>   castsShadow             1<br></br>   includeInDepthCue               1<br></br><br></br>  channels<br></br>            {

Replace the line marked in red above with this line "parent UNIVERSE". Keep repeating the Search untill you have found all instances of "actor BODY:" and replaced the associated instances of "parent BODY:#" with "parent UNIVERSE".

NOTE: If you are using Poser5, you will have to have it set to save you files in uncompressed format which results in a cr2 file, otherwise you will end up with a crz which can't be text edited.
