Lets say I make a simple box, and I want to duplicate that shape, I try copy and paste and it doesn't work.

How would I take one shape and duplicate it without having to make another?

I know, stupid question. but its driving me crazy!

Thanks

If it's just a box and it doesn't have any moving parts, you can always save it as a prop and then load it again.

Just make sure, when you save it, you select the sub-sets so that all sides are saved.

Hi G-Munky,

You might want to try this, also.

  1. Select the object.

  2. Open the Grouping Tool.

  3. Make a "New Group" named ....... (whatever you want to call it)

  4. "Add All"

  5. "Create Prop" named ....... (whatever you want to call it)

  6. Exit Grouping Tool

Walla!!! ............. prop duplicated exactly ... but ... you'll need to move it to see it.

Copy & paste in Poser doesn't work the way you would expect (considering the way most programs work, anyway). Instead of copying and pasting objects, it's for copying and pasting settings. For example, if you wanted to have one object positioned the same way as another, you could copy the position settings from one object to the other. You can also use it for copying and pasting morph settings, as long as both of your figures have the morphs that you want to use.
