Im somewhat new to Poser, so I hope this question doesnt come across as embarrassingly silly. When I change a figure height from ideal to adolescent, the clothing conforming to the figure goes somewhat haywire. If I reset the conform instructions, its clear the clothing is indeed still in place visavis the figure, even though now its warped into non-comprehension. Let me add here that this is using standard Poser clothing, nothing made by third parties. Is there a step somewhere Ive missed?

If you are going to chage the figure height of the person you should change the figure height of the clothing as well.

Shortly after posting that question, I tried that, and it did indeed work. What a pity the effect was far from what I hoped... unless of course the good people at Curious truly do believe that adolescents have such huge whopping heads. =) But many thanks for the response, shadowcat. So much to learn.............

it gets worse, try setting figure hieght to toddler.

Oh dear. I just tried it. Oh, the humanity. =)
