Ok, so far all your suggestions have been great so here goes... Whenever I set the clothing item I am currently working on to conform to Michael, Poser skews the chest/side-side by a count of about 10. I have triple checked all my end points, falloffs etc. and can't figure this out for the life of me. The endpoints and centers match up with Mike perfectly in all respects, but when conformed, it gets skewed to the left. Any takers? Screenshot of what I am talking about below. Thanks in advance, co(V)(V)union

You may want to include a dummy neck in your model. This need only be a cube and set invisible or even non existent but edited into your CR2 file.

heyas; the fake neck doesn't need any actual geometry, only the neck joint parameters. it sounds as if you set up your conformer by hand, instead of cheating and creating a conformer cr2 from the base figure (or previously existing clothing). the quickest thing to try would be to add an empty neck body part into the top part of your cr2, then just insert the neck entries from the standard michael cr2. you'll have to make sure the initvalues for that are set to zero. AND remember, that besides just pasting in the neck entry in the second section of the cr2, you have to add info into the chest section, for the neck; and in the figure section for all the add child bit and whatnot. there's a tutorial on inserting extra body parts on my goodies page, that should help point out what to look for. the other thing you might try.... if you give the chest a very slight twist, and it fixes the 'listing to port' problem.... you can set your conformer cr2 to have an initvalue for the twist to be like .001. i've found that cures a lot of conformers that get twisted up.
