I was wondering if some of my list would be "there but hidden". I could never find any reference to ctrl-click deselect (shift-click would be more in keeping with convention). Yes, you can select a body part by clicking on it, but this can be very difficult if it is covered by clothing and totally impossible if visibility is switched off. Poser has a very idiosyncratic view of what the mouse is clicking on; you can move the pointer all over the place until the item you actually want is highlighted. Using the grouping tool to duplicate an object is real sledgehammer-walnut stuff. In any other app you either Ctrl-C Ctrl-V or better still, just Ctrl-D. You can rename figures so that a jacket become Jacket and not Figure2, but Poser still treats it as a "figure" e.g. in the menus, and if you have it accidentally selected instead of the real figure, and apply a figure pose, Poser will not say to itself "hang on, this ain't right" it will go ahead and screw the jacket up, usually without an undo.
