Someone posted this on my forum and I thought I should forward it here. My abilities with RDS suck...no that would be nice... My abilities with RDS stink. Anyway, here's his problem: "Is there a trick to doing prop morphs using RDS5.5 ? This experiment had an n of 1 but anyway: 1- convert 3DS handcuffs to .obj in RDS, save, import into Poser - works fine. Normal prop behavior. 2- rotate mesh of one cuff 90 degrees in RDS, save, import as morph -turn dial on morph - cuffs go side ways into next universe - big move with even .001 3- save cuffs in RDS without any change - just different name- apply as morph - same result. 4- imported with no change in scale- same result. Is there so box I should be checking in the cryptic grey menus in RDS on open or save as ? Because the only one I have learned to use is the "one per obj group" option. And I did figure out that "open" was the thing - not "import"."

When you're doing morphs for imported props, how you imported that prop into Poser is very important for it to succeed. Import the prop into Poser without rescaling it, offsetting it, centering it or placing it on the floor. You can rescale and move it into place with the parameter dials once it's imported. This way the model is not shifted in 3D space and the morph should work properly. -JH.

Thanks Jeff. I will forward this to him ASAP.
