Poser can use strictly convex n-gons; any concave angles will render incorrectly. So, a hexagon (Allen wrench) is OK, but a star of David (Torx wrench) will render as a hexagon with the UVs badly distorted.

I'll throw in another option for architectural modeling: you can add control edges to keep Poser smoothing from making weird shadowing. It can also be used to preserve the shape in case of subdivision.
