Hi Dave,
I think he means vertices and edges. For importing and exporting obj
files, are you using the luuv plug-in? In its options, you can turn off
autoscaling, and then manually scale the object when you import it into
trueSpace. (E.g. multiply each dimension by 10 or 20.) This is good
because if you want to export the object back out into Poser, then you
can rescale it by the same amount before exporting. Poser has very
different scales from many other 3d programs. Depending on what object
you're moving between Poser and tS, you can either uncheck all options
when you import into Poser, or set the scale it in the options when you
import.
I have a tutorial about using the luuv plug-in here:
http://www.render-lab.com/Render-lab_Tutorials.htm

It's for tS 5 and 6, but I suppose that it would work with 4.3, too.
I hope this helps!
Sue

Subject: Re: [TSML] Poser Mesh Question
Forgive the stupid question, but what dots/lines? I have Poser 4 and
want to import to tS to render the scenes with, but I have never seen
any dots when I did. Are they a scaling tool? Is there a switch to flip
when exporting from Poser? Is there a clever way to include them in a
model exported from tS?
The scale issue has been driving me nuts trying to get tS and Poser to
communicate. I suppose the fact that I have tS4.3 and Poser 4 doesn't
help, either.
