The point of referencing the external obj file is so that loading multiple copies of the prop does not load multiple copies of the geometry. Only one copy gets loaded. Same deal with morphs.

I didn't know that Poser could do instancing. Is that actually what happens?

If pointing multiple pp2 files to one obj. doesn't actually save memory it would be pointless*,* but supposing it does?... This might open up a world of possibilities. I shall experiment.*
