Can anyone tell me how to rig a part that slides. I haven't used Poser in a long time, and I can't remember. If you know of a tutorial, that would be great.

After you make the parts, assemble them in your modelling app and export separately as obj.

Import to Poser with all options unchecked.

Go to Hierarchy Editor and make all drawers children of the frame.  This is now the time to scale the model, if needed.  Scale the parent and the children will follow and keep their correct positions.

Hit the Create New Figure button.

New Poser.

Load in your figure from New Figures.

Save it back out again.  This forces Poser to create an obj file.

Go to Parameters tab and uncheck bends for all parts.

Unhide the ZTrans dials for the drawers.  Either use a script or edit the cr2 to do this.

You can also tidy up the cr2 by hiding unwanted dials and adding ERC if desired.

You should be able to just move it along its x or z axis depending on which way its facing. If you want it to be a morph target, I think you can just move it to its final position and export that for use as a MT. on export from poser make sure as morphtarget is unchecked
