Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I would go about taking a fin off the daz angelfish please? I need a small fin for another character, and someone suggested using a fin from the angelfish. I just can't figure out how to do that. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you Moonbow

The key is the grouping tool. If the fin
is a body part, select it first. Assuming Poser 6:
Open the grouping tool. Hit 'New Group'. Give
it a name. Hit 'Select all', or use your
mouse to select the parts you want.
Look from various angles to be sure you've reddened
all the facets on all sides of the part.

When you've selected what you want, hit 'Create Prop'.

Close the group tool.

Nothing obvious will happen, but if you've done
the steps right, you'll have a new prop named
after the group name you filled in. You should
be able to grab it with the mouse and pull it
away from the main fish.

Delete the main fish figure, and save the prop
as a PP2.

Thank you for replying so fast Ockham:) I am using poser4. Could you tell me where to locate the grouping tool in poser4 please? I looked just about everywhere and can't seem to find it. I appreciate your help:) Moonbow

:o) The actual placing may vary depending on how you've set up your screen :o)

It should work the same way in 4, except that the grouping panel is differently arranged. The important step is the 'Create New Prop' button, not 'Create Prop' as I listed (for P6).

Thank you for the image ernyoka1 :-) I picture is worth a thousand words LOL! Thank you too ockham, for telling me how to do it:) I will go try it! Hugs to you both ;) Moonbow

Wow :) I did it! It worked wonderfully. Thank you for all your help;) Moonbow
