I'm making a Poser prop that has two groups, and each group has a different material assigned. The prop is saved to the library just fine, when I load the saved prop in a new file it looks exactly as it's supposed to, but after I edit the .pp2 file - removing embedded geometry, as product uploading rules require it - the prop displays one material only, it's the one that's written first in the code and it's applied to the whole object, instead of just the zone it was assigned to. So if I made the prop, used the group tool to create two groups and assigned green material to one and red to the other, after I remove embedded geometry with my text editor, either the whole prop turns green, or it's all red (again, depending on which one comes first in the code, if I switch their places, the material switches as well). It's the problem when I try to make it with the old version (7) of Poser. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, whether it's the grouping tool I'm not using correctly, or I'm deleting something I shouldn't. For file editing I'm using these instructions: http://www.cocs.com/poser/props2.htm I have a feeling I'm missing something very simple and obvious
