The .OBZ file is a compressed .OBJ file.  You will need to uncompress it.

You can find the uncompress/compress option in the window tool bar of Poser when you have it open.  

Window / Python Scripts / Utility Function

This is the "Compress" option.

You can choose to compress object files in Poser 6 and Poser 7.  That option is not available in Poser 5 however.  I find that .obj files can take up much space, so I always compress those now.

You can also choose to keep or delete the original uncompressed files.  Personally I see no reason to compress a file to save space, yet keep the original uncompressed version too.  So I always check to delete the original uncompressed file.

You have the same options for "uncompress" too.

Again, when you are asked to browse to the folder you want to compress/uncompress, while I'm showing a Runtime folder, you can pick any single folder inside, you do not have to do the whole folder if you do not want to. For example, sometimes I will need to uncompress a single .obj file. What I do is browse to the Geometries folder and locate the folder that contains the .obj file I want to uncompress or compress, and just work on that folder.
