I am trying to turn several different objects into a figure in Poser 10.

It's a very simple figure where I do not want the objects to be welded together, nor do I need any weighting.  It's four pieces of a dangling earring that I want to articulate.

I have the four parts loaded, placed, and parented in order.  I have tried to go to the Hierarchy Editor with the top piece selected to click Create Figure- it will ask me for a figure name multiple times then not create a figure.

What is maddening is that I know I have done this successfully before (with a door), having read easy instructions to do it in someone else's thread on this forum.  That's the kind of thing I should have bookmarked, but apparently I didn't.
