Hi ,

With node tool selected I can only click on a body part even if I want to choose a clothing part. For example I have a figure loaded with a dress but if I place the arrow anywhere on the dress the body is highlighted. So if I want to manipulate parts of the dress I have to go to the heirachy list menu and click on “dress” then laboriously open each section until I get the part I want to manipulate.

Even more irritating is that when I’ve finished the edit, the tool reverts back to the genesis figure. Surely there is a way to make the arrow tool choose the exact parts it is resting on?

Hi leonardis…

I believe the reason why the selection tool shows the main figure is because the clothing item is ‘Fit To’ the figure….

However you can select a node of the clothing in the viewport…. When you hover the pointer over the area that you want to select, Right-Click, and in the context menu select the node for that part of the clothing or the whole clothing figure.

Hope this helps…

Also in the Scene tab, you can use right click on any item, and select Expand > Expand from Selection, or even Expand All.  It’s a lot easier than going through all the body parts one at a time.  When you are done, you can do the same, but choose Collapse All.

Thanks for both suggestions. They both work.
