I am completely new to this poser program but have been addicted to it!!!!! I started playing with it and decided to attempt a scene. Well I have this building built using wall's I down loaded free from AFA site. Well I decided to build a display case. I made the display case that consists of 7 boxs that I have put together. and rendered it looks cool (I'm proud of myself) This is where my problem starts. I saved it as a pz file but when I import it into my scene I cant move the thing as a whole item. I have to move each box. If I export it as a .obj file and then import it it is just a grey rectangle and wont work for a display case. How do I get Poser 4 to move the WHOLE thing? Thanks in advance.

Couple of ways to try -
Choose one main piece of the assemblage, parent all the other pieces to that piece, then when you move that piece, all the others will move with it.
OR
Export the assemblage as an OBJ, then re-import the OBJ file, it should all be "welded together" in the process.
Good luck and have fun Message671414.jpg

If you export it as an obj file, then you must run a program such as UV Mapper. Then you can apply textures or colors when you bring it back into Poser. UV Mapper is by Steve Cox and you can get it here: http://www.uvmapper.com/ I hope this helps, Ericroy
