Here's what I'm doing:

1)Exporting Michael out of Poser as an obj

2)Importing Michael into Maya and making some modifications in Maya

3)Exporting the modified Michael out of Maya (note that I am also changing the model link text in the Poser file to reference the modified Michael).

The trouble happens when I open the modified file in Poser. Everything looks great except for some reason the left forearm is not there. Morphs work and textures are there. Everything else looks fine, but there but no left forearm. I have checked visibility. I have checked and switched normals. I have opened the model in Deep Exploration and it looks fine there.

I've been checking in both Poser 4 and 5, and I am using Maya 4.5

Any hints, link, ideas, solutions, or pity would greatly be appreciated.
