Hi folks,

sorry for bothering, but I just can't get my head around this. I amrealtively new to Poser and trying to get comfortable with P7.

And now my question:

When I want to delete more than 1 figure out of my scene, is there a better way to select one after another, hit DEL and confirm? I mean, can I shift click or multiple select figures?

There must be a better way... it's driving me nuts when I want to delete a complete outfit and have to select-del-confirm 4 or five times.. But my stupidity blocks me from the answer...

There are several Python scripts by Dimension3d in the free section area:

The one you need is called "Delete" ;)

I strongly recommend you "Conform" to conform several clothing pieces to a specified figure !

These Python scripts are just excellent , a really "must have" - and they are free !

If you need some help on how to use Python scripts , just ask ;)

No, delete one after the other is how it works.
You may find a python script in freestuff that will delete the figure and anything parented to it. 

Oh thank you both... well... so I wasn't complete stupid. I'll check out those scripts :)

Thank you again :)

Oooooh!

Those scripts work like a charm :)

Thank you again soooo much :)

You're welcome ! And don't forget , there are NO stupid questions here ;)

 Tip, if you delete anything in poser by using the delete key, it stays in memory depending how many undo levels you have poser set to. If you hold down the shift key and then delete, it removes it from poser and there is no ability to undo your delete. Same with the python method. No ability to undo your delete. The later two release memory, whereas the first one does not. I use the later two methods almost exclusively. Just something to keep in the back of your mind as an option.

If you delete a figure or a prop they do not stay in memory but are saved to hard disc as a cr2 or pp2 file in the "Poser Undo Cache" folder, so using shift/delete does not  free up memory.

My memory panel reports the following consumption by Poser Pro on an intel Mac
Fresh boot of Poser Pro
434.23MB real Mem  1.45GB Virtual Mem after Loading Sydney G2 and a 9mbi dress
218.45MB real Mem 1.23GB Virtual Mem after delete
Quit Poser
Fresh boot of Poser Pro
434.23MB real Mem  1.45GB Virtual Mem after Loading Sydney G2 and the same dress
194.34MB real Mem 121GB Virtual Mem after shift delete

What I did about a month ago was load every piece of clothing I own for every character I own and make a render and stick into iphoto for an easy visual reference of my runtime inventory. Not shift deleting between loading a different clothing item and rendering the memory consumed by Poser climbed and climbed to the point poser consumed right at 1/2 of my availbale memory. Whereas by shift deleting it did not.

I've just run a test using Poser Pro on a 64 bit PC running Vista.

started Poser--Physical Memory usage 1.60G
Loaded a V4 character (58Mb) and deleted,  Did this 10 times.

Memory use after each delete was-- 1.65  1.67  1.69  1.68  1.69  1.69  1.89  1.70  1.70  1.70

Quit Poser and restarted

Repeated series but Shift/Deleted each time

Memory usage was-- 1.64  1.66  1.67  1.68  1.69  1.69  1,69  1.79  1.71  1.70

I see no significant difference between the results

If you look at the data I collected this morning, You would assume that the Mac version is not releasing memory correctly when compared to your Windows data using normal delete. In the first example look how the memory consumed goes up from the first load of A3 to the last load of A3.
First number is real memory consumed MB's and the second is Virtual Memory in GB's. My InTel macpro has 16 gigs of ram.

Open Poser Pro to an empty scene 129.2MB 1.15GB
Load A3, 226.5MB 1.25GB
delete
Load A4 252.6MB 1.27GB
delete
Load JessiG2 369.6MB 1.39GB
delete
Load JessiP6 277.8MB 1.30GB

Load Laura 248.6 1.27GB

Load Maddie 250.1MB 1.27GB

Load Miki 1.0 271.0MB 1.30GB

Load Miki 2.0 350.1MB 1.39GB

Load OliviaG2 367.8MB 1.40GB

Load SP3 255.4MB 1.28GB

Load SydneyG2 387.7MB 1.42GB

Load TY2 242.0MB 1.27 GB

Load TheGirl4 264.1MB 1.29GB
delete
Load V2 245.0 1.27 GB
delete
Load V3 272.6MB 1.30GB
delete
Load V4 362.5MB 1.39GB
delete
Re-load A3 284.9MB 1.31GB
Yet the first load of A3 at the top was 226.5MB 1.25GB

Relaunch PoserPro into my biggest runtime V4 empty scene 133.9MB 1.15GB

1 load V4 with Morphs+++ and skin 245.6MB 1.26GB
delete
2 reload same V4 252.5MB 1.27GB
delete
3 reload same V4 260.5MB 1.27GB
delete
4 reload same V4 270.4MB 1.28GB
delete
5 reload same V4 277.0MB 1.30GB
delete
6 reload same V4 283.6MB 1.30GB
delete
7 reload same V4 289.2MB 1.31GB
delete
8 reload same V4 295.1MB 1.31GB
delete
9 reload same V4 301.5MB 1.32GB
delete
10 reload same V4 307.7 1.33GB
delete
back to an empty scene 263.5 MB 1.28GB
Again the memory consumed is slowly creeping higher.

Load 256MB pz3 with V4 and M4 and other props from Dream Home Media room.
644MB 1.66GB
shift delete left with 317MB 1.30GB
Quit PoserPro
Load same scene
normal delete left with 333MB 136GB

Again I see less memory available using a normal delete vs a shift delete when I delete everything and return to an empty scene.

That all said logic would tell you if Poser really released everything in memory you would return to an empty scene with approx 130MB consumed, not approx 317 to 330MB's.
