These are readily accesibble by selecting families. The posing should be done with the model on its own in a new Bryce file (so that it will not conflict with other families in other objects) , without changing the orientation that it comes with. If you rotate the model before posing, it will not work. If you are going to use this model in a scene that involves more families, then is better to change all to default after you finish posing it.Throw away the ground plane and save the file. When you are ready to include it in your scene, merge it in! Posing the model with Families: Family 19 (green)---------Selects right door hinge .
