I?ll start with the basics: I?m running Poser 4.03 ProPack enhanced and I?m using the default figure ?Posette?. My PC is a P3, 800MHZ, 256Megs of RAM running Windows ME. Last night I was using the grouping tool to give the appearance of body armor and everything was fine until I added socks. I wanted to get rid of the Posette?s toes so I added a pair of socks, used the grouping tool on them and everything seemed fine. I saved the figure as a .pz3 and as a figure in the library. Today when I open the .pz3, Posette is missing. She?s also missing when I try to open what I saved in the Figures Library. All I get is the hair and socks. However, when I go to the material editor, all the groups and materials I created for Posette are still listed under her original name I was using for her which was ?Figure 1?. I?ve included a before shot of where I was and an after shot of what I have now. Is there anyway for me to recover what I had before I added the socks and what did I do wrong?

Good grief .. i would hate to see the header you put when you have a life threatening problem .. lol. i don't have pro pack so not sure what to do .. was just lured in by your rather drastic call for help.

You might try going into the figure menu and select Show all figures.

If the figure is in the drop down then delete the rsr file. Ron

Have you installed the latest Service Release for ProPack (at Curious Labs site)? Seem to remember the initial release had problems with the grouping tool.

Thanks for the quick replies. Here's the status thus far: 1. 'Show all figures' is a no go. It's greyed out. 2. I'm running the latest version of ProPack. 3. I believe I did the RSR thing properly. I went into the Geometries/P4NudeWoman, deleted the RSR file, re-opened Poser, selected my .pz3, but I still only get hair and socks.

Go into the character file and delete the rsr file. Ron

I deleted the rsr file from the character file, but now I get the following error message: "Cannot Open Resource File RuntimelibrariescharacterRick's Modelswoman1.obj" and I have to ctrl+alt+del to exit Poser.

If you create groups on any figures in Propack and save them to the library. Propack will create a new obj for your figure to reference and will place this in the same folder that your new figure is saved in...this new obj will have your new groups and new materials in it. From your last message, it created an obj called woman1.obj. Check that path for that obj file (RuntimelibrariescharacterRick's Models). If it's missing, then that's what the problem is.

Make sure to delete both rsr files. One in the geoms and the character file. I have run into the problem before. Seems that both the rsr files contain the geoms sometimes. When Poser has the geoms twice it will not show. Also make sure you do not have the geoms in your cr2 file to. If you do Poser will not render it. Hope this makes sense. Ron

Thanks for the replies everyone. I was still unable to recover what I had so I ended up redoing her from scratch.
