Hello,

I have a figure where I added some conforming clothes.  Basically, I want to remove the parts of the figure that are behind the clothes (less polygons, less poke through).  Easy enough, I just hide them in the Hier Editor.  But, since some groups in the figure have information under the clothes and shown, I would like to edit them.  Here I go into the Group window, select the under the clothes part, invert and then make a prop.  Then in the Hier Editor, I turn off the original group.  Basically this is my work around since I don't know how to actually delete polygons in Poser.  Is there a better approach?

I have tried exporting the figure with clothes to OBJ, and deleting the polygons there and then importing the modified figure.  The problem I have is that it seems the figure is smaller.  I have calculated that I would need to import at 107.957% to have the exact same model (using the joint editor tool to get my numbers).  Of course then, Poser is so kind to round up to 108%.  At 108%, when I go into Set Up, the initial zeroized figure does not line up perfectly, and when I go back to the pose tab my figure is deformed.

Needless to say, I am going nucking futs.  Any useful insight is appreciated.

Thanks,
Tom B
