Question on Sprite products (how to handle only one object)

Might be a silly question but anyhow:
I own quite some of Sprite's products but hesitate to buy more. Reason is that he/she tends to provide only one piece of wardrobe although let's say a bikini should be usually provided as a single top and buttom piece. Take the new https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-spr-moonlight-coast-bikini-for-genesis-9. From the description and readme I get that is again just one piece. So how to deal with it best once I want to kitbash and only use the top or bottom piece. Just make the other part transparent. Don't get it.

    From the file list (http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/111803/file_list) it is an all or nothing load. There are no separate files for top & bottom.

    Regards,

    A possible solution would be to create a conditionnal graft, this way you could easily hide the part you don't want. A vidéo by @Mada explaining how to do it:

    If you prefer, @Utiltarian has a product to make, among other things, easier to create conditional graft:

    These wouldn't be especially hard for an end user to split apart (use the geometry editor to delete the other half, then save the piece out - or, as a more advanced option, create conditional grafts to hide each piece) but it is disappointing when it's not done by default.

    So what does this mean?

    You can find new icons for this product in the following DAZ Studio Categories:

    • “Materials:Iray:Wardrobe”

    • “Wardrobe:Swimwear:Bottoms”

    • “Wardrobe:Swimwear:Tops”

    I mean, there seem to be separate tops and bottoms here, or what (not really into Smart Content categorization)?

    There is only one data file, so it must just be be the full outfit in two places.

    • “Wardrobe:Swimwear:Tops”

    That was just generated from the product's metadata, i.e. both Bottoms and Tops are checked under Wardrobe > Swimwear.

    Even the Product Details were generated by AI... IMO, which makes less sense to me on such a simple "one-piece" that could've been splitted into two pieces for easier use.

    OK.  I've also come across a few characters with only full preset (no separate head/body presets) recently, which is annoying.  The more options, the better, and more products sold.
