I have a garment that I use fairly often in animations, it is an .obj file that I import into the cloth room and create a dynamic prop/garment for Poser (I use version 6). I do many tests, keeping the same character (in different poses) and when done save the file to preserve the simulation .dyn files, etc. Now I do a save as and name the file something else. I kill all frames but number one, then as a new file I do an animation with my same figure, but different actions and key frames. I name the imported .obj a different name (inside Poser) and then clear any previous settings from simulator. Regardless of all of this, when I choose a new simulation, give it a new name, and I tell Poser to "clothify" my freshly named cloth .obj, I get the message that this prop has already ben "clothified" and can not be done again. The only (painful) solution I have found is to go outside of poser, copy my .obj file to another place, and rename it. Then Poser will allow this (same but renamed .obj file) to be clothified. I have found no reference to this in the tutorial section. Hoping to find a more practical way to do this. thanks, Nate
