les- "a normal pose file (pz2) can only load channel and mat data, right? I'm not sure. But an lt2 can load a pose and an OBJECT, but only if the object is called "spotLite.obj" ?" pose file can set any attributes of one or more figures or objects, that must already exist in the scene. Apparently, any of the other library files can be edited to load one or more figures or other objects, set to whatever pose each entity had when it was saved to the library. that is, lights could be put in a cr2 or vice versa. My point is, any library file other than pose can "pose" whatever object(s) it is loading... - - - - - - - - - - Re the geometry - I think I've seen .lt2 files that omit the objFileGeom line from a spotlight. Sounds like it is ignored when read in.
