Thanks very much for your post, Cage.

Just this morning a DAZ member, noelr, replied to the same question on a post I left at DAZ. Here's the reply...

"Either create a morph at frame 60 and save the item back to the library, or export it as an OBJ."

I did export the dress as an object and then imported it and that did work although it took quite a bit of time because the imported dress needed to be adjusted for position, size, texture, etcetera.

The first part of noelr's answer sounds similar to what you suggest, Cage, and it sounds like the better way to go. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do it.

I saved the draped dress back into the props library but then when I placed it back into the scene it was undraped as if I'd never run the cloth sim. Obviously it's the morph creation/spawning that I'm having trouble understanding. Its something I haven't had any experience doing. I'll have to check the manual to see if I can figure it out.

Thanks again! :-)
