Hi, I too am a novice at the wonderful world of poser animation and modelling. I know there are plenty of tutorials on the web, but none of them seem to deal with what I'm looking for. How do you get the hair to stay on the characters head when they walk a path? Why do some clothing items replace the figure that I'm trying to add the clothing too? Hep me , peez?

When clothing replaces the figure, you have probably double clicked on the clothing when trying to load it. To add clothes, click on the little "double check" icon in the library menu. Clicking the "single check" icon or double clicking with the mouse means "replace".

if you are makeing your own hair model then you need to change its parent to the poser charecters head it will then follow the model head in movement.

What if it doesnt show the double check mark, only the change figure (single) check?

There should be a double check mark available when you are navigating in the Figures folder. For other items (hair, props etc), there is no "replace" option, hence no double check mark there. A double click on a prop will not result in a "replace" action, it will just add the prop to the scene. I admit this is somewhat confusing. Sometimes a double click with the mouse is "replace", sometimes it's "add". Sometimes a single check mark is "add" (as in Props), sometimes it's "replace" while the double check mark is "add" (as in Figures).

No it's not all that confusing, it's just your not understanding me I guess. There is no double check mark sometimes, just a single check to replace, a (+) to add and I think a (-) to remove. If it were that easy as to just select the correct option, that being the double check mark I think I might'a caught onto it by now. Thanks anyways though
