Do you have the PDF instruction manuals that came with it. Poser has many areas that one has to become familiar with and like most computer graphics and 3d programs you usually don't get it just overnight. It took me months to get proficient with Poser, Photoshop and Zbrush. I still come across things all the time I don't know how to do.

Be patient, study and experiment with what you've read. Read then try, then read again. In time it will become second nature to you.

Read both your Poser reference manual and tutorial manual, they should be listed in your help menu. I know its frustrating at first but hang in there in time it will be easy.

If you are wanting to make a male figure, you should start out with one. Look in your Poser library>figures>Poser 7 etc.

If your library is not visible go to your window menu and check library it should appear at the right of your screen.
