Ishroom, If it is conformable clothing: 1. Select the clothing. 2. On the menu bar, select Figure > Conform to. 3. Pick the figure in the drop down list and click OK. 4. The clothing should snap into place on the figure. After you conform the clothing, you must be careful when posing the figure. If you try to move a figure part, but grab the clothing by mistake, things will distort. I find it easier to pose and animate the figures and then add the clothing last. If the clothing is a prop: 1. Position the clothing exactly the way you want it on the figure. 2. On the menu bar, select Figure > Properties. 3. On the Properties pallet, click on the Properties tab. 4. Click on the Set Parent button. 5. Select the body part that you want the clothing to be attacted to from the list. For example, if the clothing item is a hat, select the figure head. Many clothing props are called smart props. Smart props are already parented, so they snap into position on the body part when you add them to your scene. I hope this helps, Ericroy
