Loading a geograft as a parented figure and not as a geograft?

when i double click G2M's geograft there aren't any options.
how can i load the geograft as a figure that i can parent to g2m's hip or pelvis and then save as a figure set?
can i somehow save the Minotaur6 as a complete figure in DS, and then open it in Carrara?
as in, make minotaur6 with all the geografts attached, and save it from DS as the base figure
instead of a figure with geografts?
would like to do the same thing with Dragon3 and it's geograft options.
so, basically, save a figure with it's geografts and making it a base figure that will open in Carrara.
Thanks!!

The problem is that Geo-Grafts do not work properly as parented or conforming figures as they are intended replace geometry on the host figure while joining textures seamlessly. You could perhaps load them without the host selected and then position them manually and parent, but they wouldn't conform in the way that say clothing does because they are not layered, and the textures wouldn't match. In most cases this simply wouldn't work. I suspect your would have to export the figure with its geo-grafts installed and then bring it back in and re-rig it. I think the results would be extremely poor by default and would require a lot of work and skill to get them to look right. You could, I suppose, pose the figure in Studio and export as an obj and bring it in to Carrara as a static object.
i'se animating scenes >.< feeling depressed about the minotaur workarounds labor.
