I aim to update it about once a month. Oh, and it's free!

The furniture has to be positioned by hand in the boudoir, unless there was an update. Turn off the roof and use the top camera, then adjust the y-trans for everything in the raised section. I think their Venetian room did have the furniture pre-positioned, either as props or in the PZ3.

Oh, sad. I wish they'd made a PZ3 with it all beautifully positioned like in their illustration on the website. Okay, thanks for the tip. that should help me get the pics on the walls etc. Love esther

Esther - And then once you get the pictures up and things arranged as you like, save the file (without Vicky or anyone else in it) as a PZ3. Then you won't have to do that particular setup again. Then if you want other, you can do other arrangements and save those which will leave you with you own set of setups. ; ) Dave

Hi Estherau: I'm sorry I did not get your email. Daz has not updated since I changed it. Regarding the Boudoir: Perhaps the ad should have been more clear in regards to the setup of the Boudoir. It was meant to say that all of the room props are pre-positioned, not the furniture itself. There were several reasons why it was done this way. If we had put all of the furniture in the pz3 it would have been much too large for people on dial-up access to download. This was one of our earlier products, and it was before we began stripping the object files to reduce file size. That's why we were able to include the props in the pz3 with the Venetian room, a later product -- the files were much smaller. Also, we felt that since there is no right or wrong way to set the furniture up, it would be easier for the user if the furniture loaded in the center, which would make it immediately visible; i.e., one wouldn't have to zoom out, rotate the camera, etc., just to find the prop to begin with. As RHaseltine suggested (and if I remember correctly is mentioned in the readme), you can position the furniture props easily by making the roof invisible. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Exotica

Yes, sorry - I should have said I was just rehashing old advice rather than being creative!

No problem. Not everyone knows you can do that. :)
