Whenever I import an .OBJ file into Poser Pro 11 I can never find my object in the interface. Can anyone assist me? Cheers

If you mean the document window ... make sure that you instruct the obj in the pop up window to be at the center of the scene and place on floor. Hopefully that will take care of it. If the orientation parameters of the obj. still don't allow that ... the best place to look for it is UNDER the construct or ground plane. At least that has been my experience. Do a fly around to find it or use the Auxiliary camera. When all else fails use the posing camera to center on the object and pull back to find the location. I've had to do all of these at various points.

They can sometimes be imported in a huge size. Unless you're zoomed out a long way you're looking at the empty core. You may need to set the scale to 10% or less when importing.

Do you get an entry in the props list top- left of the document window or in the hierarchy window?

If you are using Poser Pro 11, you can specify to import the OBJ as a Poser-size item, then you can see it. If it has normals reversed, and the Parameter dials tab has setting to hide backfacing polygons, it may also cause the imported item to appear invisible in preview textured mode. As already mentioned, huge size would make it un-observable because the cameras would be inside the object. (I also find that if I point to the wrong item during export from my modelling software, I get a OBJ without any geometry.) Uhm, I have also had the odd experience that in some cases, if you don't export an OBJ with Material, the item is invisible in Poser scene.

I often import the OBJs of props I've modeled in Blender, and I've gotten into the habit of unchecking everything except "Place on floor", and then selecting "100% Of standard figure", instead of the default "100% Of original size". That usually does the trick.

Many thanks everyone. I did all of the above and set import size to standard.OBJ is now visible! Cheers
