Fine work - can't guess what's wrong with the joints, but I can tell you how to outflank the problem. Details in the links suggested above, but briefly, I did this : - Loaded your model - Loaded the OBJ model for the P4 male tuxedo - Moved/fitted your model to the tuxedo - ...by basically moving it -0.020 on the z axis - Re-saved your model under a new name. - Copied and opened the tuxedo CR2 - Changed the figureres lines to point at your new model - Saved, but didn't call it the same as the one that didn't work (to avoid having to delete the "big" RSR) - Restarted Poser, loaded your new figure, loaded P4 man, conformed No, it won't conform perfectly, for several reasons, most importantly - Your model's sleeves don't quite follow the intended wearer's arms (should be slightly bent, easy to modify in your modeling app) - The hip that goes all the way to the ankles (and the absence of shins) will inevitably look a bit funny when responding to poses that "expect" normally sized and placed hip and thighs Precisely because they are not "bipeds", dresses/gowns are the most difficult clothing items of all. There are many solutions (use welded thighs and shins, use only one leg, use morphs, etc.), which one you choose is up to you, of course. And we have all learned what does not work. That's why we all hi-jack CR2's from existing figures, by re-pointing the figureres line in a text editor. The Setup Room in Poser Pro Pack is just a graphic version of the same process ;o)
