Thanks for answering my question,Sharen and Smerc I have a posable prop that was in pp2 format. Also many of the posable props here are in pp2 file. The picture shows kirby stocks thats a pp2file, but has the morph that made the clamp open and close. I use this to ask b4, and the answer is Sharens tutorial. To make a figure thats a lot of work, I just want to make a wall can moving up and down, door open and close. How can I do that in the pp2 file?

That's done with morphs. You can use the Poser magnets to create morphs. You'll need to read up on the details of using magnets if you want to make doors open properly that way. The main thing is to adjust the falloff curve of the mag zone.

So, ajax, if i use magnets, do the door need to be seperate from the wall?

No, it should all be one prop. However, you need the door to have a separate polygon group to the wall. You'll have to tell the magnet to only work on the door group and ignore the rest of the prop. You can set up the groups with the group editor. The easiest way is if your door has a different material to the wall. Then you can use the group editor to make a group corresponding to the door material.
