I made a simple 4 sided cage prop and need some help. I used the square prop and changed the origins, resized, parented, and lined them up. Then I added them as a new figure from the hierarchy window. When I bring them into a new project they work fine, the sides and back fold up as designed. However, I set the origin for the top so that it is in the front of the part in the original. This way I could attach it to a wall or door and have the whole thing swing down like it was on a hinge. When I import the new figure though, the origin is reset to the middle and so I can't have it swing from a wall anymore. I also cannot get the "display origin" setting to work on the new figure. Any ideas? Here is a link to the file (In PZ3 format) for those interested. http://www.crescenthawks.com/Poser%20Stuff/cagehelp.htm

Select any part of the dog. Then delete it with your delete key to get rid of him. Then choose the "top" camera view and open the Joint editor window. Then move the origin to the front of the cage. Then just save the cage to one of your figure libraries. You will be able to use it from that point on. And the origin will stay where you put it. ScottA
