G9 hair with other G figures

Random

Most G9 hairs fit fine on e.g. G2F characters fine with appropriate autofit. But if you try to change their color or style you get an error message. I understand they are built in a very different way, but seemingly once they are on the figure what's the problem just changing the color with the vender provided colors?

If there's an error, there's a good chance the hair is made of several pieces and the preset is a hierachical material preset which applies to all of them. In that case, you're supposed to select the G9 figure they're parented to and apply the material preset, so you'll get an error when something else than G9 is selected

There's a post on how to convert a hierarchical preset for use with another figure here: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/9464796/#Comment_9464796

Ah. Thanks, Leana! for that info and the reference.*

Edit

*After looking at the hair texture files: OMG, so many. You'd need infinite patience. Maybe someone will develop a "simple" editor/transformer for these hieratical files.
