What do you mean the regular one?  I've got almost all of my poser stuff installed into both poser 5 and 7, but tend to want to use the poser 7 application more lately even though I'm way more comfortable using poser 5's features. 
Poser 7's the newest and I didnt buy it to revert to using an older edition (no matter how much easier it is to work with). 

So the main thing is to uncheck the smooth polygon box from the prop properties window and I can then leave the main properties smooth poly box checked , correct? 
This should eliminate the ballooning effect I hope.

Thanks to you who once again dropped a nug of know-how my way, you rock.
