Okay, after over four years of owning Poser, i finally decided to make my own cloths.  I am using Lightwave 8 ( by creating a set of points at the bottom of the figure, and then use extender plus to sort of drape the cloths around the figure  I use weld when bringing together two sets of objects which does work) to make the models, and I follow the figure steps as prescribed in the Poser manual.  My problem starts when I try to model the cloths.  They all work as figures, but parts of them (specifically were the polygons come together) are sheering apart.  This happens both before and after I try to clofify the item.  Could definitely use any suggestions because I'm running out of ideas.

Thanks!
