I have built a new figure which with the exception of the head is a totally new mesh. Because of the work involved in doing all the facial morphs I wish to use the P4 woman's head. I wrote a PHI file thus:-

objFile :Runtime:Geometries:PhilC:figure 3n.obj
  1 hip yzx
    2 abdomen yzx
     3 chest xzx
      4 neck yzx
       5 head yzx :Runtime:Geometries:femaleHeadOnly:femaleHeadOnly.obj
      4 lCollar xyz
       5 lShldr xyz ....etc

Into Poser to produce this:-

All looks ok, but I find that the program has added all the head vertex info to the CR2. Not what I wanted.

This time I added the head reference directly to the new CR2, thus:-

figureResFile :Runtime:Geometries:PhilC:figure 3n.obj
actor BODY
{
}
actor hip
{
geomHandlerGeom 13 hip storageOffset 0 0 0
}
actor abdomen
{
geomHandlerGeom 13 abdomen storageOffset 0 0 0
}
actor chest
{
geomHandlerGeom 13 chest storageOffset 0 0 0
}
actor neck
{
geomHandlerGeom 13 neck storageOffset 0 0 0
}
actor head
{
objFileGeom 0 0 :Runtime:Geometries:femaleHeadOnly:femaleHeadOnly.obj storageOffset 0 0 0
}
actor lCollar .....etc

This produced the figure on the right:-

I've missed an offset or something somewhere, any ideas?
