Thanx bluetone.... tried that, but no joy. It gets weirder by the minute..! I just tried this: Kept the original right sock in Carrara. Duplicated with symmetry so I had a right and left sock. Grouped both socks and exported in local coordinates into Poser . I end up with 2 socks... hurraay! 2 right socks that is... boooo! Both socks in the same position, one on top of the other.

"You don't have to be mad to use Poser... but it helps"
