I've got a Surface Material just right for one prop. Now I want to apply the same settings to another prop. How do I copy the the Surface Material from one prop to another?

You can do it in a text editor if you know your way around the inside of a prop library file. EditPad lite or John Stallings CR2editor1.51 works as well (PC). CR2editor1.51 can be found in the files section of the PoserTECH mailing list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PoserTECH http://www.editpadpro.com/editpadlite.html

Go to Render/Materials. Select the prop you want to copy from. Now select the colour and in the selection window click on the "Add to Custom Colours" button. Close that selection window. Now select the second prop and click on the colour you want to alter. The colour you saved from the first prop will be in the selection window in the Custom Colours section.

Which just goes to show that there are more ways to skin a cat :)

heyas; the only annoying thing is, if you try to save all three colours (base, highlight, ambient) to the custom colours, they usually all overwrite the first slot. argh! the only way i can get them into other slots is to click on that slot first. (which of course, erases the colour you're trying to save.) ::sigh::

Which is why you can also write down the RGB values for each color... click the second or third or fourth "Custom Color" slot, and then type in the RGB values, and you then click "add to custom colors"... it goes to the slot you clicked before typing in the RGB values. Just like in nearly any other Paint proggy.

write!??!?! i have an advanced computer system and you want me to WRITE!? lol!! ;) (actually, i do write down a lotta computer stuff.)
