Hello,

  I have a nice walk bvh file that has the character start from stand still, walk about 5 or 6 strides, stop, turn 180, stand still, then walk 5 or 6 strides, turn 180, stand still then 1 or 2 strides to a stop.

  What I want to do is chop it up into it's pieces and move them to my pose library so that I can fit them together as I want.  Eventually I'd like to be able to smoothly put 2 or 3 walk cycles together to get say 10 or 15 strides.

  My though is to delete the frames I don't want, move the left over frames to start at frame 1 and then save to library.  Reload the bvh again, delete the next unwanted frames and do the same steps again.

  Two questions:  First, is there a better way?  Could the desired frames be moved to their own layer (running Poser 7) and saved that way.  Second, to save the frames themselves, do I just click the plus sign to add to the library and save to a name?  How do you save JUST the frames themselves without saving the character with them?

  Thanks for your help!

Your basic thought should work.  You won't need to delete anything, though.
Just save an animated pose three times, telling Poser to use the proper
range each time.  

Assuming an equal division for the sake of example:

On the first save, hit the Plus sign at bottom of Pose library, and tell Poser
to save a multi-frame pose, frames 1-60.  On the second, hit the plus
again and tell Poser to save multi-frame, 61-120.  Then again, with 121-180.

You may need to bring these poses back in and fix up the 'edges', especially
if the break point happened in the middle of an interpolated stretch.

I think you're making it too complicated. 

Open the library palette, click on poses in your download directory, click the plus sign,  give the new set a name, OK, check the body transformations box, OK, click "Multi Frame Animation" and select the frames you want to include and any relevant layers, click OK and you're done!

Since this will also save a thumbnail, you should be sure to set your animation to a frame that will be representative of that part of the walk.

I'd suggest saving into the Download library because if you ever uninstall Poser, it will delete all the subdirectories it installed, but will not remove the download runtime.

HTH,
