I have always found Poser rather slow at object deletion... My impression is that it kind of reload a certain number of things...
There's a free tool you could try: Snarlygribbly's Scene Fixer. You will find it in the Poser 11 section here. It contains many tools, among them the ability to delete characters, lights, props, etc...

Based on your comment about SceneFixer I decided to write a quick script to delete the whole set of nested figures one by one, and it deletes 16 nested figures, one by one,  in less than a second.

So when Poser deletes attached figures after clicking OK below it's clearly doing a lot more than just that.


I think I'm happy with including a warning and a delete script with my freebie.

However, there's clearly an underlying problem in Poser.


The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.

*also available in ShareCG, DAZ, and HiveWire3D flavours (the DeviantArt and CGBytes flavour have been discontinued).
