Sorry, I seem to be keeping key info from you guys...you know how us women are. lol! The render size is the default window in P8, for me that 1100x900.

As for the polygons they seem to me to be equally distributed but maybe I'm not looking for what you are looking for. When I modeled this the i beams are high poly and the lowest poly item(s) would be the floor and/or staircase.
V4 you probably already know about all too well in regards to polys.

I am finding this confusing because it's really not a complex scene, 1 figure, 1 prop that's med poly size and Poser is borking. (???)

I'll try what you suggested markschum and see where that leads me to.
