Thanks you guys!  That morph mirror thing is really cool!  It seems silly that there isn't an easy way to duplicate a magnet for the other side without a script....

amacord, when you say "apply the magnet" do you mean position it, turn it into a morph, something else?  What I want is to get rid of the morphs and the magnets entirely and just have a modified mesh, if I save it after positioning the magnets I get magnets in the library too and if I apply it as a morph it gets saved as a morph.  Oh!   Or do you mean export the mesh?  I'd rather not do that, then I have to set up all the joints again, which is why I didn't want to use my 3d modeler to fix it in the first place.  It's not really a problem if it can't do what I want, I was just curious :)

Oh, and tom, it's a scarf, not a graduation cap, but I do have one of those around here somewhere.  Problem is it's backed up in cardboard and cloth format and I can't get any of my disk drives to read it ;)
