Nuts & Bolts under Household - 3ds Screws & Nails - 3ds

Thanks for your responses. I got something from each of the sights and am somewhat happy with each item except the bolts aren't threaded :-(. The screws & nails in .3ds from the link at "one-commune" are great,but I have a problem in that the files have the 3 nails saved as one prop (pic1)& the 2 screws(pic2) as one prop. I imported the 3ds file & saved as Poser prop but can't figure out if there is a way to seperate the items so I have 3 seperate nails & 2 separate screws. Does anyone know if there is away to do this inside Poser? ernyoka1: I appreciate your kind offer. If there is a way to separate the items I'll be ok, if not I'll take you up on your offer. I'm surprised these items aren't around

Here's Screws Pic 2

Try the Group Editor.
If your lucky each item will have it's own group or material, which would make spawning individual props easy.
Otherwise you'll have to create the groups by hand.

You take the group editor tool. You select the prop. You frame it close on the front camera. You set preview to see-through wire frame. Your hit the button to create a new group. You drag over to select the element you want and use the main camera to see it is all selected but no part of the other elements are selelected, de-select as needed by dragging/clicking with Ctrl-key down. You can assign a material at this point. Hit the make prop button. Then you hit make new group and repeat. The texture UVs may have to be redone with UVmapper Classic. Hope this wasn't nonsense.

Momodot, that was a very concise and clear explanation (at leat to me) on how to spawn a new prop with the Grouping tool! For some reason, the grouping tool has god a bad name, when it is in fact a BRILLIANT tool! I often use it , rather than UVMapper, to assign material zones to parts of a prop. The Grouping tool is easy and fairly intuitive, once you've let the intimidation go :o) And Strixowl, my offer still stands :)

ernyoka1, thanks.

Here are some Nuts and Bolts at Beyond Visual Range

momodot I'm in total agreement with ernyoka1, your simple tutorial enabled me to separate the items into individual props. The group tool has always been very frustrating to me though I've had some success with it. Your lil toot opened up an area I never understood. Thank you. I's also like to thank Mystic-Nights for the great links you posted. Now my project is back on track :-) Sorry I didn't post back earlier, went to Seattle :-) Strixowl

Great. Thanks.
