Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 24 4:20 pm)
Subject: A Very Unexpected belated Xmas Present - P7
**Thanks Little Dragon
why I ask is that I've now got an external 160GB HD which has plenty of space. If possible I'd like to keep my runtimes on this.

Sheila, I run all of my purchased content from external runtimes and don't have any problems. I don't think you need to install anything to the P7 runtimes. All of my external runtimes are out on a 250 Gb USB drive and I don't have any troubles with any of them (and I've got a lot of them right now).

I think I have more than 40 external runtimes. Each figure has their own, actually, each figure has one for character addons and one for clothing. Plus I have one for each theme (angels/faeries, plants, backgrounds/environments, mermaids, christmas, valentines, lighting, props, hair etc). It makes life so much easier knowing where exactly things are stored. Yes I have to switch runtimes a lot, but it's worth not having to play seek and find when looking for things. And it makes deleting things so much easier because I don't have to wade through non related stuff looking for the files.

heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi

This is exactly what the Collections feature in P7 is good for. If you use certain characters, props, etc., a lot you can set them up in collections and not have to switch runtimes to bring them into a scene, you can add them from the collections menu.

**thanks, that's what I was thinking! At the moment I've only got P7 installed - and I've whittled down the runtime to the bare bones of its content which I know I may use at one time or another.
I too have individual runtimes/categories - I don't mind switching or removing/installing runtimes - at least it doesn't bloat up the P7 system!

**............. courtesy of my hubby who kept it v v v quiet!!!! It arrived yesterday afternoon. I didn't know anything about it. Got the usual bottle of Baileys and chocs on the day itself, nice.
Now, I've been having a play around - just with the Sydney character - haven't installed anything else yet. Here's a test render:
I played with light settings etc. Just got a question - when I install DAZ figures will I have to install them as normal in P7 or can I run them from external Runtimes?
