How do i make a prop (figure) with rotating wheels like some cars for poser have? I actually want to know how to make the wheels turn more than 360 degrees. e.g. 760 1100 etc

Just bring in the wheels as separate objects, and parent them to the body (or to suspension parts). If you're building the entire thing as a CR2, be sure to turn off "Bend" for everything. Edit the CR2, replace all "bend 1" by "bend 0". Morphs will -not- create rotation.

To elaborate on ockham's post, you need to have the wheels as separate body parts in order for them to be 'rotatable'. This means building a cr2 figure. Do you already have the car? If so, what format is it in, and do you know anything about figure-making? To be able to help more, we'd need more info. At the worst, you could have the car body as a prop and the 4 wheels as smart-props parented to it, but that's a very klunky way of doing it. mac
