Ok so happy to say I tried both the primative prop and that worked OK and I also undocked my preview window and this apparently was the problem.  I just left most of the settings for the menus as is, but undocking it helps a whole lot.  Thanks everyone for the information and help and prop :)  I appreciate it.  I've fallen totally in love with Poser Pro 2012 and have all but abandoned my poor Daz Studio 4 Advanced LOL.  Glad I didn't sink a lot of money into Genesis.

It would be nice if there was a real Poser University though....one where I could go and learn.  I find myself too distracted to learn from tutorials these days as work seems to take up a lot of time.  They act like they pay me to show up ROFL :)

Thanks again everyone.
