Sam, I tried it your way three times and got the same results. I don't know what I did wrong. I followed your words to the letter and loaded each piece into poser seperatly.

"Once the figure is completed, save each movable part out as an obj, keeping the size and position as they should be on the model.Import each piece into Poser with all the import options unchecked."

I then used the hierarchy editor like you said to set the dependencies. Then I hit Create new Figure and named it and saved it as a pz3. I then cleared the screen and found my new figure and opened it. All that was there 3 times in a row was the bottom of the mushroom stem. nothing else. what went wrong
