Here is a class I wrote to easily parse poser files. You can get the items in the file along with their hierarchial depth. Run the script and press the button to select a .pz2 pose file. The demo will print out some items. Also read the comments in the source code. I'm soliciting comments and suggestions. I use this with some other classes to create partial body poses 'on-the-fly' from .pz2 files. I'll post that on another thread. tia
