I need to make it wider at the bottom than the top I think. But there is no taper dial. I then decided to try the morphing brush to make it look a bit more didgeridoo like. However the morphing brush only seemed to work on the rings at the top and the bottom of the object.
So then I exported the .obj and reimported this, thinking it would now work, but I still can't use the morping brush except on the very top or the very bottom of the cylinder.
Any ideas how i can make this thing into a didgeridoo?

Poser is always ready to taper a prop. Most props don't have taper dials, but you can add them.
You probably want a taper on Y here. Just insert this paragraph among the others like XoffsetA and Ytran and so on. If the prop happens to be built oddly so that the vertical isn't really its Y dimension, try changing the word taperY (in three places) to taperX or taperZ.

didn't really work. the dials appeared and did things but not really well tapered. I think because it is a DSON imported object originally. because teh morphing brush only works on the ends. that is very weird in itself.

oh I just discovered something. tamperingn with the originY dial after using the taper dial actually works!

Use a magnet to open up the end.

thanks but i have tapered it adequately now I think.
wonder why the morphing brush refused to work on it.

The morphing brush was probably hampered due to the vertex distribution in the object.

Must be a Daz Studio thing. Honestly I was surprised, but happy, that the grouping tool worked.

Agreeing with Nanette on the morphing brush: with extremely - or sometimes, even moderately - low-res mesh, the morphing tool spits the dummy. I've had to export dynamic clothing mesh and add geometry in order to fix folds and stuff with the morph brush after a sim that didn't go altogether as planned.
