Hi, I hope nobody minds what may be a dumb noob question here:

I've created a few smartprops in Hex2 for Poser7 and they work fine. The .obj objects I made imported OK into Poser, and they saved fine in the directory I made for them in the Props library, which I called "Custom". In Poser when I view the Prop library, the props are visible in the "Custom" directory, I see the thumbnails for them, they load up fine and perform perfectly as smartprops. However, in Windows Explorer when I look inside the folder I made (...Runtime/Libraries/Props/Custom) it tells me the folder is empty. I can see the .pp2 and .png files in all other prop directories for products I have downloaded, but not my own, so it doesn't appear to be some kind of hidden file issue. I assume the prop files are lurking somewhere in the Poser directory tree since they continue to load from the Props library and work fine, even after I closed Poser, moved the pre-import Hex-created .objs to a different place, then restarted Poser.

I was under the impression that Poser created a .pp2 file when saving a smartprop - am I mistaken in this? I like the props I made and I'd like to share them as freebies, but that's a tad difficult when I can't get hold of the files to upload...

If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if this prob has already been covered elsewhere in the forum and someone can point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful. Thanks muchly! :)
