thanks for the info, Shonner and Patrick. As far as upgrading to Poser 5, I doubt that I can, as I only have Poser 4 and curious labs only has options to upgrade to 6 from 4, there's no path from 4 to 5 that I can see. I've checked out the Transporter help, thanks for the screen cap, Shonner. You've given me the info that I needed, guys! Thanks so much. One more question, is the fact that Carrara's Z axis is height and Y is depth and most other 3D programs it's the Y axis that's height and Z is depth something I should keep in mind when designing characters, or can I change the orientation of the imported models? Thanks again, mike
