Here's a nifty trick for ill fitting hair (often hair pieces that don't quite fit right and tend to fly off when using third party poses). Position the hair where it needs to be on the figure in its DEFAULT position--select the hair, then select the grouping tool. Click "New Group". Type in the name you want to call your modified hair piece or prop. Click "Select all." Click "Spawn new Props" or "Create Prop." Delete the original prop or hr2 file. Parent the new object to the figure's head. Save the new object in the Hair or Prop library. This technique can be used for resetting the default (all zeroes or 100 percents on the parameter dials) by rescaling or moving the original item, using the grouping tool to select everything, and then spawning a new prop and deleting the original from the work space. This way--a bizarrely placed or scaled prop will return to the defaults YOU define when you either RESTORE ALL or RESTORE ELEMENTS.
