Poser Python Scripting F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2026 Mar 27 4:38 pm)

We now have a ProPack Section in the Poser FreeStuff.
Check out the new Poser Python Wish List thread. If you have an idea for a script, jot it down and maybe someone can write it. If you're looking to write a script, check out this thread for useful suggestions.

Also, check out the official Python site for interpreters, sample code, applications, cool links and debuggers. This is THE central site for Python.

You can now attach text files to your posts to pass around scripts. Just attach the script as a txt file like you would a jpg or gif. Since the forum will use a random name for the file in the link, you should give instructions on what the file name should be and where to install it. Its a good idea to usually put that info right in the script file as well.

Check/Uncheck "Display Origin" (Properties Tab) ?

  1. Can this be done from PoserPython ?

  2. Is there another PoserPython forum anywhere ?

The 3Dcheapskate (also available in DAZ and HiveWire3D flavours) occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.

PhilC answered this on my Where To Go To Ask PoserPython Questions Now? thread.

Basically, for anything that CANNOT be done explicitly in PoserPython, but which CAN be done from a PZ2 pose file, the workaround is to write a pose file and apply that (for an example see Anthony Appleyard's An old problem with parenting props is still here in Poser 10. thread and D3D's 2008 Problem With SetParent thread which was referred to.)

The pose file for setting Display Origin for the currently selected actor is as follows (assuming the forum doesn't totally !@#$ upthe formatting !

{
    actor $CURRENT
    {
        displayOrigin 1
    }
}

Is it displayed correctly? Yay! Triple backticks (NOT apostrophes) on their own lines before and after. Totally intuitive... my %^&*
