this may sound strange but, i installed a version of illustator 10 this morning, and the next time that i opened up poser, the crotches(hip) of all the male chrs were missing, except for in the people directory, the p4 male has a crotch. if i toggle on the genitals in the figure menu there are crotches, crotches with genitals that is. it's as though the object/properties/visible box has been unchecked. this is driving me nuts. please help!

Have you tried going to the menu on the upper "tool bar" that says figure (Between edit and object) and making sure genitals is checked? I am kinda confused to which menu you are refering to in your post. Are you talking about that one or the figure library menu? My P4 males always load up sans crotch when I bring them into a scene, and I have to go into the tool bar at the top to get them to show up.

Looks to me like the hip portion of the models are missing. I had this problem on a model and don't recall the fix. I remember reinstalling Poser and pro pack and the updates for other reasons and haven't seen the missing hip since then.

What version of Poser are you using?

You may have to delete the .rsr file that's found in the geometries folder for those figures.

I have corrected this bothersome bug by saving the file and rebooting the computer. Sometimes clicking the genitals off and on again will fixit.

Hi This was a problem in Poser 4 that one of the patches corrected. Go to Curious Labs web site and download the latest patch you shoul be ok Keith
