Help importing clothing

thenortherngrey

Hi all,

 

  I have a bit of a problem I haven't been able to solve.  I have a OBJ file for a shirt that I want to make into a conforming piece of clothing for a Genesis 8 figure.  My problem is when I import the shirt at a scale that is very close to what is needed, it shows up in the scene about halfway up the figure's torso.  I have tried moving both the shirt and the figure using the XYZ controls to make them align a bit better but once I use the Transfer Utility it snaps back to the middle of the figure's torso again.  I can pose the figure and the shirt conforms a little to the new pose but it's position of being "stuck" on the figure's torso remains.  What am I missing?  The tutorials I've seen so far all have the shirt starting out in the correct position on the figure when it's imported. 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Get the shirt lined up using transforms, then hide everything else in the scene, export as OBJ, and reimport that OBJ (making sure to use the same preset in the option dialogue for both export and import) for rigging - that will "bake" the adjustments into the mesh.
