Hi,
I have acquired two DM scene sets. DM Abraxas and DM Lost Lands.
Both have their own directory with pz3 files under RuntimeDM Productions PZ3's............
The Abrax also has a directory with the five scenes under RuntimeLibrariesPropsDM Abraxas sets.
This last directory contain 5 pp2 files for the 5 pz3 files mentioned in the first ditectory but Lost lands does not have that.
If I open the PZ3 file, how do I save it as a collection of props in pp2 format and create the png thumbnail (I may / am wrong, but I thing the Abraxas pp2 files are where more than one prop is saved as one?)?

I am relative new to P7 and I am struggling to get tutorials on this topic. I would appreciate assistance.

Regards

To get a thumbnail, do a render and then create a 91 x 91 PNG using your favourite 2d graphics app (resize and crop as required).

If you save a prop in the prop library using the + at the bottom, Poser will generate a thumbnail automatically based on the current preview window .

Ok, maybe I have not explained properly.
I know how to add a single prop to the library and add and edit the thumbnail so that it always can be used later.

I want to add say six or more items of props and objects at once to the library as a .pp2 file and not as a scene (.pz3 file). I want to be able to call up my whole scene from the library of Poser7 and I want to see via the thumbnail what scene I am loading.

I do not want to open a scene file for which I must search through the Windows's file search window and to look seperate at loose thumbnails or pictures to know which one I am loading.

It was done with the DM Abraxas set, so it must be able to be done with the DM Lost Lands as well.

How?

Select any prop, click the "+" button to save to the library, then when the dialog asking for a name appears, click on the "Select Subset" button, and click next to each prop that you want to include in the file so that a cross appears next to it, click OK, type the name for the set and click OK.

**nruddock,

Thanks, it is working.
I saw the function, but I was not prepared to try in fear of wiping something.
