Now, when you do that, the head will be HUGE, but then you can scale down (with some crudeness, see below), and the morphs work just fine :)

weirdly, changing the export scale in FG doesn't change anything...it will still come in with the same "hugeness" in Poser...I'm not happy about that, but I'll take what I can get at this point. The problem is in accuracy, once you're down to the single digits (4% is roughly the size of a poser head) you can only be 4 or 5, not 4.5.., so your dealing with.like 20% increments if you see what I mean.     

So, I'll pester FG support a bit and see what's going on with the scale thing but for now I am a happy, (and apparently prematurely senile at age 49), camper. Hey you gotta understand, I'm juggling a lot of stuff... kind regards, kids!=E

Use a third-party scaler like Objaction Scaler (free.)  Scaling accurately inside of Poser is.. problematic.. and a real PITA if you have to do it repeatedly to exact specs.  Using objaction scaler you can get exactly what you want and set up a good workflow instead of spinning dials in Poser.  Poser objects are scaled weird anyway.  They're infintessimally small, get "soft-scaled" up inside the software because even it can't see the stuff without binoculars and Poser's Units are a creature unto themselves.  I've had too many problems trying to import&scale items into Poser to ever trust it.   Object centers going whacky, forced to tweak dial limites, yada, yada, yada..  Use a third party scaler and you'll be happier.

PS - Grats on finding a solution btw!
