Poser 2012 v9.0.3.23027
Windows 8 pro 64bit
Latest Stephanie 4 downloaded from DAZ3D. All the DAZ figures have been initialized.
Issue:
Load Stephanie 4, apply short proportions body morph. Morphs ->Stephanie 4->Proportions->Short=1
A mesh distortion shows up between collar and shoulder on both sides. See image below.
Anybody experiences this? Any way of fixing it?
thanks for your attention

Open S4 in the joint editor.
Select the right collar.
Select rShldr_Scalex
Grab the low start and move it to the left towards the ellbow, making the whole smoothing zone shorter until the distortion is gone.
Or dial it manually to around -0.117462
Do the same for the left collar.
Save modified S4 to the library.

This workaround seems to work well. Thanks.
So is this a known bug in the figure?

Glad it worked. :-)
Well, all 4th Gen DAZ meshes were predominantly rigged for Studio, pretty much ignoring "proper" Poser scaling.
While Poser scaling was changed in Poser 9/PP 2012 SR3, making it a lot more "flexible and forgiving", there are still small problems with older figures when you scale them too much.
But usually adjusting the scale zones a bit is an easy fix.
