OK, I have finished texturing the table, and worked out my axis problem. And I have created it as a figure with two groups, main and drawer. Now I want to make the drawer slide out. But when I look at the Setup Room, it looks as though it only permits you to make the group in question swing on one of the axises. I assume there is a way to make the drawer slide, so how do I do it? If someone could give detailed instructions for the not very bright, the not very bright would be very grateful:)

Go to the Setup Room and create two bones. Assuming that you have already got your model divided into two groups, table and draw, call one bone table, call the other draw. It will not matter where you place the bones because you will not want to rotate the draw just open and close it. Generally in the middle will be ok. Back to the Pose Room, select the draw. Now go to Object Properties and deselect the Bend option. You may need to do this for the table also. Next reselect the draw and test out your x, y & zTrans dial. One of then will open the draw. Ignore all the other rotate dials. Save the table to the figures library. You can hide unwanted dials by opening the CR2 file in a text editor and changing each "hidden" attribute to 1.

Cool. Thanks a lot. Haven't actually used your advice yet, but I'm sure it will work. I knew there was a way, since so many people do it. Also, thanks for the tip about clearing the dials. By the way, regarding the remaining trans dial that opens the drawer, how can I change its name to "drawer open"?

Never mind, I figured that last one out. Just click on the dial:) Obvious, I know :)

You know it might also be easer to make it as a morphing prop, rather then an actually figure.
