As an experienced Poser5 and 6 user into Vue 5, Vue does not prompt you or provide any mechanism whatsoever to retain the textures you have created on the figure you are re-importing whether the figure is collapsed or not. This is obviously a huge problem when you have to go back and forth. There are three workarounds to this problem though none are very good. First, change your workflow so that your work out the pose/poitions first before texture. Second, you can reimport a copy of the reposed model into the scene and then copy materials over. Third, you can save all your mats and then reapply them after import. I know, none of these are great solutions. I wish Vue had a utility like "Replace object - keep textures". Oh well.
