(edit-  I didn't realize there was another page and was replying to your post at the end of the last page.)

Laurie, your dynamic stuff for Angela looks so great I'm going to have to another look at her if I can dig up where she's from again.

From that other thread on dynamics, I get the idea you can have more than one dynamic group. So maybe if that part of the mesh was a different dynamic group with a higher (what ever that dial that held shape) setting, it might do the trick?
