I got a little problem I don't explain: I'm using Poser Pro 2012 on a Mac OS 10.13.6. I have made a grunge BBQ with a half-barrel. Writing the code of geometries in a cr2, I had : prop BBQ-Bidon:2 { storageOffset 0 0 0 objFileGeom 0 0 :runtime:Geometries:Agnes-Bricole:BBQ:BBQ-Bidon.obj } Of course the obj file is in the right place ! If I import it in Poser, the result is good. Now if I load the cr2 from the libraries, I had a purple one-sided square.... !!!!! I rewrote, I rewrote... Always the bad same result. :-( But ... !!! I changed the name of the obj file to Bidon-BBQ.obj or BidonBBQ.obj and I rewrote the ligne of code : prop BBQ-Bidon:2 { storageOffset 0 0 0 objFileGeom 0 0 :runtime:Geometries:Agnes-Bricole:BBQ:BidonBBQ.obj }

Yes it works !

If somebody coud tell me what the xxxxxx ( = some slang words) thing happened ?

One polygon off usually indicates the normal is reversed.

If you make Poser props pp2 in the future this might come in handy, then you don’t have to write the code manually.

And never use spaces or things like - in the objnames.

Poser can cope with spaces in the folder names throughout the path to an object file, even an obj file name could contain spaces, since that is all passed to the operating system to handle, and MacOS has always supported spaces in filenames. OBJ files are more restrictive of names used within themselves. Group names, which poser matches to body part names for instance, are delimited by spaces in the OBJ file, so cannot contain spaces within a given group name.

Poser actor names can even contain spaces in their internal names, but things break down when the Setup Room has to make associations between actor internal names and bone/group names, because the obj/geometry parsing prohibits them, so, as @Biscuits advised, it's always safest to avoid spaces in internal actor names and mandatory for groups.

The other thing I notice is that you have assigned a figure number ":2" to the prop. Unless the prop is parented to a figure, it doesn't really need a figure number. But, since you mention you're loading it from a cr2 file, the implication is that it's part of a figure.

The mystery of why renaming the file would make it load correctly is very strange.

Thank you an0malaus. I always use a nul cr2 container to put props together. It's easy to use and you can hide the group easily in a heavy scene (some of my scenes can be more than 1 Go ). It's the reason I have a figure number. See my free stuff: https://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/pendule-murale---wall-clock/82482 Then you can have ERC in the figure body and lights. I think it's better than the Poser grouping tools. Thank you Biscuits, but the geometry stripper works only in Window. And anyway it's no very hard to write Poser code.

Have you checked that you don't have an old file named BBQ-Bidon2.obj hidden away somewhere in your geometries? Poser at times can be quite obstinate in choosing the wrong file.

No old file. I know Poser is sometimes stubborn as a mule. I suppose that, somewhere in Poser program, there is a little hidden line of code that forbid the letters "BBQ" ? Anyway it's ok because I found a solution. But it's very strange.

Yes Nails60 ! You're right ! I found a file "BBQ-Bidon" hidden inside the libraies !

Glad you've got this sorted. Nice looking prop, by the way
