I vote for stairs. I'm curious about them. I can see how they are made from 6 poly boxes, but the method explained to make them interests me. I'm curious about getting the rise/run set up correctly but I will defer to the Lady if she prefers otherwise. Except for the floor plan I would imagine adding the second floor is the same as doing the first minus the framing foundation. After all the ceiling is just the bottom of our floor assembly prop.

It's not polite to "stair" [sic] .... or is it? ... :lol: *Yeah, that is pretty sic humor, ha ha.*

Why use the 6 poly box? Pretty simple. Poser's box is 8X8 polys per side X6 sides per box X14 boxes per stair = pdg stair-ing at his old computer crunch numbers for a half a pot of coffee vs 6 polys per box X 14 boxes = pdg barely having time to light a smoke to go with the cold cup of coffee on the desk beside him.  lol

Ever wonder why an imported prop looks funny?

Maybe it's a problem with it's "normals." ....................... Maybe, just maybe. ...

And ............................................... Here's how to fix it.

---

~ Import Options ~

To "center" or not to "center" .......... That is the question ...

If we check the "Centered" option when we Import the FloorPlug, it will be centered which will make it located 2 feet (24") out of position.  Easy to fix ... just change xTran to 0.240 (24") to move
it 2' to the right ... OR ... just UNcheck "Centered" when you Import and it should come back into Poser in exactly the correct location. ... Your choice.

Last but not least ...

Let's make a frame for our roof.

We will build it on the "Floor" (i.e., yTran 0.000) because it is easier.

WAIT !!! .......... Before we can use a Magnet ... :blink: ***... HUH?***

We use the Grouping Tool to duplicate a modified, i.e., box prop, so that the "NewProp" has all it's parameters "normalized."*

Now we can Create a Magnet to deform our wall ... Next ...

• normalized means...
  all Scales = 100% - all rotates = 0 degrees - all trans = 0.000

Just yesterday I decided to lean out of the window and try to build a house in Poser8. And today I stumble over this incredible tutorial! :thumbupboth: Thanks (again!) for saving me from terrible headaches and hours of frustration, Dr Geep /I'mnotworthy/I'mnotworthy

I like it Doc. Haven't been by much 'cause my phone company screwed up my line. DSL keeps dropping out. Really makes it hard to post. Somewhere between writing and hitting the post button my connection has been taking a dump. Thanks for this and a render coming up as soon as I get a live connection for more than 1 or 2 minutes at a time. I've been told the problem is being fixed but with a long weekend we know that didn't happen.

Vacation, that's good. Today was the last day of mine and have to go back to work tomorrow.

Yeah Doc, I was worried about you because you suddenly stopped posting in the thread and glad your OK. Neither one of us is getting any younger...LOL.

Just returning to this thread myself. Local construction severed my internet a few blocks away and it took a while to track down and fix. I deal with a 3rd party company for my service so the big guys aren't too quick when it comes to fixing things.
Glad I didn't really miss much and I'm happy all is well with you Doc.

Neat trick Doc.

 

  Pop Quiz: It was a neat trick but using the grouping tool to select all polys results in the polys ~moved~ by the magnet being selected and the removal of the magnet allows them to spring back into shape. I'll try exporting the triangle, before grouping; and importing it back into Poser to "glue" it together and at that point do the grouping to see if that works.

 

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"

dr geep ... :o]

edited 10/5/2019

 

The answers to the Pop Quiz are:

The methods on Page 68 did not work because the (x,y, and z) Scale parameters were not 100%.

The one thing we could have done was to make a duplicate object so that all the Scale parameters would be 100%.

---

"Reset" the Scale parameters to 100% by making a duplice object.
(Use the "Create Prop" option in the Group Editor)
= OR =
(Use the EXPORT / IMPORT operation)

Haaaa. I was right; though I explained it poorly. I used the export / import option to "glue" everything together and it seemed to work. Now I have the justification for it.

The default strength of the Magnet inside the Zone "fallsoff" from 100% in the center of the zone to 0% at the outside edge of the zone.

We want the full strength (100%) of the Magnet inside the Zone so we need to adjust it.

Then we will adjust the Scale and position of the Zone ... Next ...
