Hi, I am trying to simply make a room prop made from three cubes (floor, wall1, wall2). I am fairly literate with poser and computers (I'm a programmer) but for the life of me I can't figure out how to simply group all three cubes together with textures to create just one prop! I've read the book and it's useless. I find the menu isn't very intuitive at all. Does anybody know any decent tutorials, links or maybe a quickie tutorial? I'd appreciate it.

I'd like to see the answers to this question myself, which has also plagued me since I began working with Poser about two years ago. I've asked the questions in the forum and gotten some answers, none of which really worked. Someone suggested grouping props and exporting to Bryce, then moving back to Poser, but when I tried that, I lost all textures.

You can select one of the objects to be a parent then parent all the other object to it using the Hierarchy Window. While they won't be one object they will all move together as a group when the parent is moved. Chris Cox

Export as an .obj, reimport, re-apply textures using the grouping tool....

Another curious thing I have seen is that if I try to make, for example, a long wooden beam out of the box prop, then rotate it to 45 degrees from horizontal, then parent another to it at a right angle to the first (-45 degrees, making an "X"), I get really wierd effects. The ends of the beams become pointed rather than blunt. Haven't figured this one out yet.

Don't parent it, export both as obj import again, it's now one object....

If the grouping tool is too taxing, use UVmapper to make a texture.....

Oh, I see, more fool me, this is just spam hence the link....
