Ok guys.... i am  new to Poser, so i am still trying to get along with it

Now, i have this question: Why when i buy a car, a city or some props they're  like "tied' or grouped but still i can mange to change or move the direction if i select a piece?... i mean, can i do this will all my characters ?/???

I have this character or props (a gun maybe) when i click on it, it is pieces... can I group it together?or maybe a character i crated and dress full with it's morphs.. is there a way to make it a group? and still keeps all his morphs?

When i save a character on my library and then i loaded again... it looses ALL the morphs!.. or must of them... what am i doing wrong?

i have these cool guns but every time i try to move them i can only manage to select a piece of it...
i know it's a dumb question for i don't know what to do in any of those cases!!

Help me

The grouping tool is for creating new props.  If, for example, you wanted to create a new prop that was only a gun handle, you could use the grouping tool to select (i.e. "group") all of the polygons in the handle.  Pressing the "create a new prop" button will make a new prop that has the same polygons.  However, this doesn't sound like what you want to do.

If you're looking to simply move the entire gun, make sure that it's selected.  You can tell if it is by looking at the two names under the word "preview" at the top of the preview menu.  The one on the left should be the name of your figure (it will be a figure if you loaded it from the "figures" section of the library.)  If it's not, hit the triangle to the left of it to choose your figure from the list.  Once your figure is selected, go to the second menu and select "body."  Anything you do will now affect the entire figure.  If you select one part of the figure by going to the "body parts" menu, then anything you do will affect only that one body part.

What may have been confusing you is the "translate" tool.  If you select it by pressing the button above the preview window, do NOT click on any part of the gun to move it.  Instead, make sure your figure and "body" are selected, then click on any empty space in the preview window to move the figure around.  If you click on a part of the gun, Poser will think that you want to select only that part.  You can also make sure your figure and "body" are selected and use the xTran, yTran, and zTran dials to move the figure.

If your gun is a "prop" (i.e. you loaded it from the "prop" section of the library), then make sure its name is showing as the right name under the menu.  Then move it by clicking on the "translate" button and then on an empty part of the preview screen.  You can also use the dials to move it.

Whoa Ezuk you're the best!.... thank you so much.. i cannot believe how something this simple it's been driving me crazy!

I am photoshop, freehand, illustrator i could say expert... but never tried 3D before... and there's many, many little details that one without guide can get lost!.. or is simply frustrating sometimes!

See?... that part was MY problem now.. i try to make click by pressing THE figure .. my problem was the translate tool!...

Thanks you so much for your time my friend!... thanks you so much!
