There's no need to parent the prop, although it is useful to do so if you have a piece of clothing for a specific character; that way when you save the prop in the library, it automatically goes to the right place. Try the following simple experiment: Load a figure and zero it (Window->Joint Editor, and hit "Zero Figure" in the palette). Load the cloth-pane, and move it up so it's above the figure's head. (You'll probably have to move the camera up and look down to see the cloth). Go into cloth room, and clothify it. Don't bother with drape frames. Leave the number of frames at 30. Do "collide with" for your figure. keep the default settings for now and hit Calculate simulation. The cloth pane should drift down then dreape itself over the figure (result should look like someone wearing a sheet, playing at being a ghost). When the calculation's finished, exit the cloth room and run the animation. If all's well, pick one of the frames, and export the cloth (just that 1 frame) as a .obj file (use default settings). Now either clear the animation (set last frame = 1, then back to 30), or shut down Poser and restart it and reload your figure and zero it. Import your cloth object (turn all import options OFF!) and the draped cloth should appear, exactly where it was when you saved it, but this time at frame 1. You can now parent this to your figure and save it in the props library. Obviously, the above is not meant for anything useful, it's just to get you started..:-) If all that works, post back here, and we'll see where we go from there. Cheers, Diolma
