Thanks for all your help. I've found file paths ins CR2s and PZ2 -who'd think to look at the bottom. Are there any more poser files with file paths? Thanks.

Figures,poses,Hair,props and PZ3's all do. Think of the Pz3 as more or less containing ALL the librariy files. Thing is i can save any poser file under any or all of the library folders by just changeing the file extension. So i can have hair in the lights if i wanted to. So tecnicaly any library folder can have file paths .

Since you've posted 3 threads on this subject, I assume you're seriously interested in poser's internal structure. I don't know what you're using to look at the poser files, but you should definitely get John Stalling's cr2Edit. It's a free app designed to open and modify all poser files. You have to join the Poser Tech Group to get it, but that's no big deal. It's just a Yahoo group. (Link above). Get version 1.51, as 1.52 was a bit buggy. Every poser file has an internal structure which tells poser how to open a file, or what to add to a current scene. Going from the simplest (lights) to the most complicated (.pz3 scenes). Basically, if a file contains or references Geometry, like a prop or figure, or a texture, like a MAT file, then it will have an internal path that points to that obj file or texture. You can easily change these pointers. For instance, if you decide to move or rename an obj file, you'd have to change all the geometry pointers. This is NOT something I reccommend doing just for the hell of it. You need to know what you're doing. Still, Poser's internal structure is fascinating and you can do a lot of useful things within it. You can hide/unhide parameter dials, set permanant limits for rotation/translation, etc. You can even build your own cr2s, like I do. You might find that the Poser technical forum (here at renderosity) is more suited to cr2 questions, although it can be a bit complicated for a beginner. mac
