I found a car on a site and I am trying to convert it to a poseable prop for poser. I have everything setup and able to be posed (doors open, wheels turn,) but when I go to save it (by cicking the main body to which everything is parented)it only saves the main body and not the doors or wheels. Has anyone encountered this? Thanks for your help...pics attached

When you say 'save', do you mean add it to the Props library? I seem to recall that when you do that it pops open a window to ask if you want to include parented objects?

BTW - nice prop!

I have only seen that option as a figure, not a prop.....they are all parented to the body, but I do not get that option to save all

When you save the prop to the library use the select sub set button. This will bring up a list of all the objects. Just check the ones you want saved.

Actually, if you use the heirachy editor to create a parent/child relation to all the parts, for example, make all the doors and wheels childs of the chasey, then you can save it to the figures library. Then when you open from the figures library, turn the bending "off" on all the parts so you can keep them posable. In other words, to save it as a figure, you need to use the heir editor to connect the parts. davo "I know, I've been there" rama

If you save it as a figure instead of a prop and choose "Whole Group" when promted, you shouldn't have any problems.
