Is there a script or some means of scaling a Poser Figure including all clothes and props down to say twenty percent?.I want to then save it a a PZ3 for importing into Vue5!I am finding at the moment that after scaling the figure I have to also do the clothes and props even after conforming and parenting! arrow1

Load a Poser square prop (preferably as the first object in the document). Use 'Figure' > 'Set Figure Parent', to parent all figures to the square. Use 'Object' > Change Parent' to parent all props to the square. Scale the square. Use 'Object' > 'Properties' > 'Visible', to hide the square.

Oh, thanks for that tip:)))) It worked extremely well on a cabin that's a PITA to manually scale.

I must remember to remember what it was I had to remember.

Thanks again Les! It worked fine.Some objects such as parented hair and jewellery don't need parenting to the square! arrow1

Also another quick way to parent is to just open the hierarchy window and drag all your figures onto the square prop. Any props parented to the figures will not need to be reparented to the square as mentioned above. I usually do this even in Poser to be able to manipulate a scene after I've applied the lighting and don't want to ruin the angle or if I want to z-toon the entire scene.

that is a very helpful tip - thank you!

Re post #6: "Some objects such as parented hair and jewellery don't need parenting to the square!" Yes, in most cases it should be sufficent to parent the base actor/prop in each parenting chain to the square.
