OK...I tested this with posette in Poser4 (not propack 'coz I wanted the geometry in the cr2) -I loaded up posette -Selected the abdomen and made a group -Assigned a new material -Saved her back to the library with the new material and group -Opened up the CR2 and stripped out everything from the second "figureResFile" line upto figure{part. (you need all that other actor stuff in there and both figureResFile pointing to the original geometry. - Stripped everything in the figure section except for materials. - Saved as pz2 file - Deleted posette and reloaded her - Applied the pose file and it seems to work. Note that the embedded stuff is only in the bodypart (actor) that was changed. In this case, only the abdomen had the embedded geometry. I tried to strip out the extra geometry info and left in the f lines but that didn't seem to work. Not really sure what parts of the geometry actually need to be embedded and have it work without someone being able to do anything with the info...kinda like the morph files that have the extra stuff stripped out. Well hopefully this gives you enough info to get started... Lourdes
