How to Reset Poser 7

Poser 7-created 3-D modeled character

Poser 7 is a 3-D modeling software program that specializes in character creation. When you start up the software, you are given a default Poser figure so you can build your character from the default model. To help you personalize the program, Poser lets you save defaults so the software starts up the way you want it to. Unfortunately, if you add something in the scene that you didn't want, you may end up with a default you just don't like. Luckily, you can reset Poser 7 to factory defaults to get the original Poser default figure.

Instructions

1. Start up Poser 7 and let it load. This could take a minute or two as Poser 7 uses many files in order to run completely.

2. Click the "Edit" button in the main menu at the top of the screen. Choose "General Preferences" from the drop-down menu.

3. Click the "Document" tab to see various document settings. Under "Launch Behavior," click the radio button next to "Launch to Factory State." When ready, click the "Set Preferred State."

4. Click the "OK" button to save the changes.

5. Close Poser 7. The next time you start up the software, you will see the factory preset launch behavior, fixing any errors or problems you may have created with a previously-saved launch state.

Tips & Warnings

• Create your own start-up launch behavior by setting up your desired scene and choosing "Launch to Preferred State" instead of "Launch to Factory State."
