Start Poser. First, we need to delete (or make invisible) ALL items (any figures or props) that are in the studio. (or you can move them so that they are NOT positioned on the GROUND) Use the "xTrans" -or- "zTrans" to move items. DO NOT use the "yTrans." To REMOVE an item (figure or prop): Select (click on) a figure (or prop) and then hit the "delete" key. To HIDE an item: Use the Poser menus: "Window" ---> "Hierarchy Editor" Now, click on the "eye" next to the item to hide it. (this does not delete the item but makes it invisible) When you have "removed " EVERYTHING from the studio, make sure that the "GROUND" is visible. If you can not see the GROUND, use the menus ... (or Ctrl+G): "Display" ---> "Guides" ---> "Ground Plane" If "Ground Plane" has a check next to it, it will be visible. Now, select the "Top Camera," and adjust it so that you can see all four sides of the GROUND in the window. Next, select "Hidden Line" (Ctrl+4) or "Lit Wireframe" (Ctrl+5) for the Document Display Style. (or you can use the Document Display Style toolbar) The GROUND will appear as 20 squares by 20 squares. This is going to be our "drawing board." Note:You DO NOT NEED to make any adjustments to any of the Lights.

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"
