Usage Tips/Limitations:
-----------------------
Poser 4 and Pro Pack:

1. Load Poser. 
2. Open the Props library. 
3. Open the Dark Anvil folder.
4. To load the model double click on the icon named: Crane_P4

Note: the Poser 5,6 and 6 version (P5,P6,P7) may not work correctly in Poser 4 or Pro Pack. 
This is because the P5,P6,P7 version uses an external morph. The P4 version has embedded morphs. 

Poser 5, 6 and 7:

1. Load Poser. 
2. Open the Props library. 
3. Open the Dark Anvil folder.
4. To load the model double click on the icon named: Tower Crane.pp2

Note: The P5,P6,P7 has 2 hook morphs. Select the hook prop and use the morphs or dials to suit. 
If you prefer to use non-external morphs, please use the P4 version. 

All, and full, functionally is present in both versions. 

----------------------------------------
Using the model - all versions of Poser:
----------------------------------------
The model is scaled correctly scaled to James so it's BIG!

To move the hook backwards or forwards, select the part named "TC_hook2_1". 
Turning the parameter dial named "TC_hookextend" will cause the hook and hook carrier to move backwards and forwards along the length of the crane's arm.  

To raise and lower the hook - the really cool bit :) - select the part named "TC_hook2_1".
Turning the parameter dial named "TC_hookraise" will let you raise and lower the hook. 

To rotate the crane - select the prop named "TC_Top_1" and use the parameter dial named "Turn Top".

To move or scale the entire crane - select the prop named "TC_base_1" and move or scale that. 
Parts are parented to this prop.

If you wish to make the crane smaller in height you can remove the props named:  
TC_upper_1
TC_extension_1

Tip: If you wish to remove the base part (TC_base_1) move the prop into the desired location first before deleting it. Other parts will be unaffected but will become unparented. Note: the hook morphs (or dials in P4) are unaffected by deleting this part.
