Do you export as .3ds or .obj?

The User Defined Object (udo) is two files, one for displaying in Moray

If the figures are all the same, have you tried "Duplicate", with "Create
References"?

I don't use 3ds Max or Poseray, so some of this is just guessing. Hopefully
some how know what there talking about will speak up :-)
