Help needed on umbrella figure

I'm in need of some help on this umbrella I'm making, hopefully from someone who understands Poser weight maps. Note the two pictures, one is the umbrella cr2 in Daz Studio 4.7. In order to collapse the umbrella, each rib bends down, and I also scale each rib group (which includes the cloth part of the umbrella above that rib) in the z or x (width) direction. You'll notice in DS I get a nice smooth scale, and fairly good results.

However, with the exact same cr2 file in Poser 9, results are different. Instead of a smooth scale, I get an overlap effect, with less than stellar results. I don't know enough about Poser weight maps to figure out what's wrong--I've played around with the falloff zones, with little or no change.

Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any suggestions.

    This has been solved, sort of. I ended up just creating a morph for the collapsed umbrella, since it seemed to be a complicated thing to get the parts to close smoothly.

    Anyone interested in beta testing this, for Poser or DS? PM me.
