Hi Is there a possibility to copy objects in Poser 6? For example for building a fence? Or do I have to import and scale every pole again and again? thanks for your answers

The easiest thing to do is add the first post back to the prop library, then add that modified post back to your scene. If you don't need the post again, delete it from the library

Cast Iron Flamingo has a freeware Python scripts bundle called the GPA Script Pak 1 that include two scripts that allow you to clone figures and props.

Hi speedgoat,

... Or you could just use the Grouping Tool ...

... like this ...

  1. Select the object
  2. Select the Grouping Tool (click)
  3. Make a "New Group" (click) named "NewGroup"
  4. "Add All" (click)
  5. "Create Prop" (click) named (your choice)_
    NOTE - Poser will automatically name the NewProps with sequential numbers if you just use the default "NewProp" name, e.g., NewProp 1, NewProp 2, NewProp3, etc.

The "NewProp x" is already selected after it is created and can now be moved to a new location and then duplicated again to produce the next prop.

You do not need to exit the Grouping Tool until you are finished duplicating the objects.

If you are interested ... This is the process that could have been used in the Picket Fence Tutorial.

cheers,
