Nicely put, Beyond. I'm surprised more people don't do the import-scale-export routine. It is so fast and makes for an easier .obj to work with later. It's also a great tool for lumping several things together into one object, or even adding a new detail or even a new part onto an existing figure. For extra points; once you have re-imported the .obj, done the final adjustment, set the textures and material values, and saved it as a smart prop, open the .pp2 again (with an outside text editor) and re-direct it to refer to the outside .obj file. Create a folder set for prop, geometry, and texture, and with that same text editor make sure that all the file references have the full file path in them (aka Runtime:textures:my_textures:my_new_helmet.jpg) It takes a bit to get used to the inside of a .pp2 It took me a few months to get comfortable inside those Poser files ( I use an ordinary text editor like BBedit for mine.) But once you've cracked the code, it makes it possible to check and change file paths, delete body parts, add ERC channels, build easy-pose dials, and so forth.
