The advantage of exporting the .OBJ file over including the existing .OBJ is stripping out any information that Poser doesn't use anyway, like normals for example. Including the .OBJ file will not increase the package size, since the .pp2 size will be MUCH smaller. As it is right now, the .pp2 size is probably a little larger than the .OBJ size. When you reorganize the prop to point to external geometry, the .pp2 size will be reduced to a few hundred bytes. .OBJ + new .pp2 will be approximately the same size as the old .pp2. Maybe a couple of dozen bytes more. The reason for making the prop call external geometry is the fact that you'll need multiple .pp2 files for the different materials. So you want those .pp2 files as small as possible. They'll be around 10-20 Kbytes, depending on the amount of materials. P4 users are a minority by now. But there are a great many Poser users that don't use the Material room in P5/P6 - they'll want their old trusty MAT pose files. Hope this helps, Steven.
