First..thank you Crescent..for the help ..What i've been working with is an obj file from Serge Marck..the P4 long dress..longdress1.zip from www.poserfashion.net..let me say i'm sure its nothing wrong with that file..its just that this is all so new to me and i am just not understanding what it is i'm supposed to do. So far, i have the obj file in my poser/runtime/geometries folder in a folder named Marck..and the cr2 and rsr for it in the poser/runtime/libraries/character folder..I can import the obj file..get the dress in my document window...but what do i do after that? I can even get the dress there, and the poser4 female figure..but how do i get the dress to attach to her? I tried to conform to figure but its not highlighted and so i can't..any suggestions as to what i'm doing wrong would be appreciated..i've been working on this since i got up this morning and i'm really frustated ..hmmm...and i thought it was going to be so simple..lol..thanks!
