AtomicDeadlock Survivor Carter-ish-type Build

[AtomicDeadlock]

I cannot begin to describe how incredible frustrated I am right now.

For awhile now, I've been feeling like my thigh and calve pieces are too large.
I resized them and resized them and eventually settled on letting them scrape on the calves because it wasn't getting better.

I've found the reason why. In Armorsmith, the thighs in the 2D plane are not scaling correctly.
Using a random location, the 3D model and 2D models measure completely differently.
When I scale down the 3D model, it scales the 2D model by the same factor but they are still off.
Deleting and reimporting the file doesn't fix the issue. Honestly not sure what to do.

I think it doesn't like any non-uniform scaling changes. See example where I squished it and the unfold didn't change.

I also just noticed that sometimes it will scale only certain parts and not others in the 2D plane. Perfect.

Alright. So after not being able to sleep last night due to stressing over the thighs, I started to remake them.
Foam pieces are mostly put together. Only reason I'm not finishing them tonight is I ran out of 5mm foam.

I'm definitely on track for next week. Two small issues have been identified though.
1) Apparently I have a great ass. When I bent over, a thigh strap tore. I foresee some re-sewing. I think I can reduce the straps holding up the thighs from 2 to 1 and move it to the side.
2) I can't get the shoulders on without help as I couldn't get them on for the suit up below. Flexibility is limited fo' sho'.
