After I posted the original question. I imported 3 obj files from Lightwave 3D. Using the Group Editor, I spawned the props, turning each material, imported from Lightwave, into their own separate props. Then I used the Hierarchy Editor to parent everything to the Main prop and created the figure. I choose original, not new and it came out great. I made my adjustment for posing the new figure and saved it to the same folder as the original figure. Saved the document and started a new document. I added the saved figure from the library to the scene and it was perfect. I really just wanted to know the difference between a OBJ and FBX, which you answered for me. Thank you. I also wanted to know how come Poser wouldn't import a figure that I exported as an obj, opened in Lightwave 3D, saved as a .lwo file and then tried to import the .lwo file back into Poser. Thanks again for great reply.
