I have a drainpipe prop which uses alternate geometry and I've added 2 sets of morphs to it - 1 set for the regular geometry and 1 set for the alternate geometry. In poser, everything works until I try to resave the prop. If I've used the alt geom dial on the prop, then instead of saving this

prop drainpipe_1
   {
      storageOffset 0 0 0
      objFileGeom 0 0 :Runtime:Geometries:maclean:room creator:drainpipe.obj

it saves this

prop drainpipe_1
   {
      storageOffset 0 0 0
      objFileGeom 0 0

In other words, the geometry reference pointer disappears. This only happens if I've actually used the alt geom dial. If I don't touch it, the prop saves normally.

The alt geom code is fine, and I've changed the order of the channels, placing the alt geom channel above the morphs, among them and below them, with no success.

Any bright ideas?

TIA

The word is that switching geometry on props is dodgy at best, and broken at worst. Bloodsong says as much in her book. "The swapping code seems to only work reliably in figures." :-( 

Yup. I know that, although I've used it successfully for several products in the past. On some things, it's a necessary evil.

And I did use 2 sets of morphs before at some point, although it was just an experiment. I probably didn't try to resave the prop, so wouldn't have noticed this problem.

No worries. I'll try to find some alternative way of doing it.

Thanks
