Carolly, I wouldn't decouple, I'd go back to the original figure, make the changes and then meld/couple that figure together. Or the coupling would not have to be permanent it could be a switch such as hide/unhide of a figure (couple/decouple?). I just have a very difficult time with the fact that if you have conformed the shoe to the foot that you still can select the shoe and in fact it is what you usually select, even though you can do nothing with it from a pose perspective until it is no longered conformed. While I agree that P4 is much better than P3, there always seem to be tradeoffs between versatility and useability (e.g. PC vs Mac). While in P4 you can control many figure aspects, the file sizes are much larger, getting things set up the way you want takes more time, scroll lists have become impossibly long, and beginning and intermediate users are easily overwhelmed. "Dresses wrapping around legs". That's why that keeps happening too? I'll change the aux camera when I get home, that shouuld help a lot. Thanks for all the useful info.
