Ok, so I'm new at this (is it obvious?) I've been trying to work with clothes and shoes and stuff, and with a lot of boots, I've noticed that the models feet sick out the sides and look all sorts of funky...I was reading things about turning body parts off, but I don't know how to!! :( Or maybe someone has ideas on how to fit the feet into the boots (I've tried and tried and some part always seems to be sticking out somewhere...)

Making these body parts is recommended in the manual. How to do it is also explained there. Select the body part (do you need to know how to select?) then command-I (control-I in Windows), and check the "invisible" box.

Hi serpentis!- We were wll new once! Turning parts invisable is sort of a pain, though, bottom line is you shouldn't really have to do that, except for extream poses. The shoes or boots really should fit the figure, some do, some don't, the origional Vickie clothing pack was about the worst I've ever seen in boot fit. Another solution is making a morphs with the magnets to pull the flesh inside the garment, while this is a little advancved it is a good introduction to doing morphs. If you save the figure as a new set your have the morph to use next time, too.

You can also change visibility from the Hierarchy Editor (under the "Window" main menu). Click the littly "eye" icon to toggle visibility of any element in the heirarchy. Cal

Another solution is making a morphs with the magnets to >pull the flesh inside the garment LOL Jim, you must live in California! I always use the magnets to make the GARMENT bigger and leave the flesh to do it's own thing. But I'm in the midwest. Serpentis, the solution to the shoe problem--and I say this in all seriousness--is to buy Jim's shoes and get his foot morphs for Vicky. His shoes fit perfectly whereas most of the other ones you will find require the invisibility trick. Jim's skirt and sweater set at DAZ has a really nice set of high-heels included. Okay, now I sound like a total suck-up, don't I? :) Mary

Gee, if you morph the garment you spoil the "look"!, and no, you don't! The DAZ morphs are the same as the ones I have in Freestuff, I actually made them first, then the shoes to fit the feet. I don't think they will help with Vickie's boots though, they pull up the arch and pinch in the toes.
