I must be stuped or somthing... I made this obj in 3d max5 and put it into poser5. my problem is if i put it togather in 3d max it transfers as one solid obj, so i send it in peaces, but then I can't get it togather other than parent and child. and that's not much help when you try to move it around. I have read all the help files and tutorials in both poser5 and 3d max5 and still cant get it right. tryed grouping in poser5 and can only group one item at a time, and when I try go group it all togather it want show the other groups. tryed setup room but can't get but one peace to show up in the room, If I add the other peaces to it by adding it through the props cat the other parts show up too small and want change size. tryed morphing and keep getting wrong number of vertices. anyone know what I'm doing wrong.

Size the object to its final dimensions, open group editor, spawn props, delete original obj. Assign hierarchy to spawned props, save as pp2 file.

In Poser -

When you have everything positioned properly, EXPORT ( as Wavefront .obj) all of the objects that you want together.

Now, IMPORT the .obj that you just exported but make sure you UNcheck the Percent of Figure Size.

The object that is imported will be the same size and position as when it (they) were exported.

The imported object will be one object -and- if all the groups (and Material) were assigned (using the Group Tool in Poser) the object will still have these groups.

Now you can SAVE the new (single) object in your props library.

There are 2 things you will lose (if used) doing the EXPORT/IMPORT* thingy:

  1. Transmaps
  2. Reflection maps
    You will have to fix these (if used) after importing back into Poser.
