hmm. thanks!

     That answers that question but still leaves me with my problem. When I load my prop into Poser and apply a material to it sometimes it will ask what material layer to apply it to. How do I get the material to just apply to the base without Poser having to ask that question?

Please and thanks again!

Yes, it did give me a overwrite warning. I went ahead and saved over it but it would not load with the changed pose. That was what was confusing me originally. Almost the same thing happens with props, if I resave a prop then two of the props with the same name show up ( just two different change dates). I've just gone and saved them under different names and resave themagain under the name I want.  I'm not sure if anybody else has this problem, but the go around by renaming it works.

Correct me if I am wrong anyone but I think I've figured it out! After moving the figure where I wanted to and checked the body transformation button I saved as it Pose 1A (was originally Pose 1). It worked. The problem I was having was that I was resaving the pose as the same name and I'm guessing that Poser doesnit write over the original pose when it's loaded into the program.

I've tried that. Same result...I went back into Poser, moved the figure into place and resaved the pose with the body transformations checked and it still ends up all caterwonky..
