Have you tried bringing in figures in small groups from multiple files (.pz3)? I rarely bring in more than three figures in a file, so have never seen this - multiple v3 for instance brought in one at a time have never seen this problem. Conceptually i build scenes in vue, and poser just provides some props/figures, as does rhino etc. I'm sure 'work differently' isn't vary satisfactory....good luck. dragonfly
