Thanks guys i'll give it a go. The reason why i want to modify the V3 Figure by applying morphs is to create a new character. However the character that i generate needs a new base mesh because i am running the new character PZ3 file through a custom conversion tool that will import into Max the way i want it and it needs a new base mesh.

cool, had a scan and couldn't find anything, guess i didn't look hard enough.

Anyone know if curious labs is planning to update their poser plugin to work with poser 5? I am currently enjoying a harmonious relationship between poser 5 and max 5, I am not using the cloth simulator in poser 5. For those of you itching to use your wonderful poser 5 creations in max, here's what I did. I had a my poser pro pack installed, and I renamed the poser.dta file to poserold.dta and copied it to the poser 5 folder. I completely uninstalled poser pro pack. I downloaded the updated max plugin installer as that works with max 4. I then installed the max plugin by manually specifying the 3ds max folder (the max 5 directory), and manually specified where poser was (my poser 5 folder). Now comes the fun part. To export characters from poser 5 to max, you have to rename the poser 5 poser.dta file to something like posernew.dta, and rename the poser 4 dta file (poserold.dta) to poser.dta. Then you can insert poser 5 scenes (saved as poser3 pz3 not poser 5 pzz) into max. For simplicty's sake, I created a couple of .bat files that do the copying for me so I just click on the right one and viola I either run poser 5 or use them in max. Haven't tested this with the poser 5 hair.... if anyone finds this useful, let me know.
