Clothing & Transfer Utility Problem

Rufus Coppertop

Hi All.

I've been trying to make some shorts I created in MD fit a Genesis 3 character as conforming clothing using the Transfer Utility.

What happens is the garment drops so that the crotch is down towards the knees. So I found a previous thread which is here  -  https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/87901/clothing-and-transfer-utility-problem.

I tried Gederix's advice which is this

Select G1/G2 and then the item with ctrl+click in Scene Tab (in this order).   Click on the tiny icon that looks like three lines and a triangle to the upper right of this.  Activate Edit—Rigging—Transfer Rigging (Figure Space).  Now it should be fitted to G1/G2 properly but still have its extra bones.

Now when I try this, the garment goes up to where it should be but - it's now shrunk so that the torso part of the shorts is only as wide as the legs. It disappears into the figure.

The last part of Gederix's advice is this - "Save the clothing item to library and reload.  Do not move or morph G1/G2 before you do so."

My problem is I can't work out how to actually do this. There's no apparent way I can see to select just the garment and save it and when I try deleting the figure in the hope that the garment will hang around to be saved to the library, the garment disappears as well.
