I am attempting to modify the P4M dress shirt into a mandarin style sleeveless shirt. I selected the neck. I applied the magnet. I played wuth the parameter dials. Nothing. Nada. Zippo. There is apparently no change to the mesh whatsoever. I even went to extremes and scaled that puppy waaaay up there and twisted, and pulled it like a piece of saltwater taffy. Still, no apparent change. However, when I have the document window style set to lit wireframe, and I hover the cursor over the area the magnet is supposed to affect, I can see an outline of what the affect should be. Yet the mesh itself appears unchanged, and renders unchanged as well. I have done this with bends on, and off. WTH??? I have used magnets before with absolutely no problems. It's got to be something really dumb that I'm forgetting; but what?

BTW: I'm using Poser 4 with the 4.03 patch

element locked?

nope. I checked that right off the bat. (cuz I have done that before >^_~)

One thing you might try is selecting the Magnet, and using the Properties menu, select add element to deform, then select the neck. Regards- Lemurtek

hmmm.... restart poser and do it again? the shirt wasn't ON anybody at the time, was it? that's a weird one.

Selecting the neck...did that. Even tried it with mats grouped/ungrouped Nope...it was the only figure in the scene It IS wierd...I'll try rebooting again later and see if that does anything
