Hi. Newbie here. Having great fun with v1.1 (yup, 'Digit' magazine). Two questions if I may. 1..I'm working on vertices in the modelling room. Save my WIP as a .car file. Go back later and sometimes I can open the model ok as a vertex object in the modelling room. Sometimes I can't (either no working window, just the preview which shows the model) and sometimes a 'no parameter' message. I've read the manual, but answer find I none. The only thing I've found that helps is to go back into Assembly, save the model as an .obj, load in Poser, save as a fresh .obj, and then all is well. What am I missing ('cept brain cells)? 2.. A model has two separate parts, loaded in the same window. Again, saved as a .car file. Go back later and both parts appear in the Assembly room, but I can't get both parts to transfer into the Modelling room. I've tried all the combinations I can think of (grouping before and/or after saving/importing, shift-clicking both parts in different orders, ctrl+A to select all before saving, deselecting all before saving) and only saving out as a one-piece .obj seems to work. Ok .. there's a third question. If I stump up for v3, will this problem go away? Cheers. Moochie.
