Hi,

the way to convert cloth in a simple poly object is to delete history or parts of the history. That could be a reason why your cloth is converted into a poly object.
For my work I always creating a new garment , because the changes on curves of an existing garment work often not so propper and give sometimes different results to a new garment. When I make changes to the properties, there was no problems for me.

I also make changes on the panle curves in a maya file one step before I greate the garment. The reason for these two steps are problems, that I have sometimes, when I delete only the garment without deleting the cpStitcher and cpSolver of the garment.

It is not very helpful but and workaround of three years experince in MayaCloth.

Hi Bohne, thnx for your reply!

I deleted the solver also, then created the new garment, made my constraints and - BANG - absolutely nothing happened. But I found a workaround for that , pretty awkward and time consuming, but it worked. I created the garment, pure without collision and constraints, let it solve for some frames, interrupted the sim, deleted cache, created the collision object, sim again, interruped, deleted cache, made the first constraint, solved, interupted, deleted.... you get my meaning. At last, my animation is now complete, but it took me 10 hours yesterday only to convince my garment to solve as it is supposed to do.... sigh...
