What's Going on with Morningstar Wings for G3 and G8 Male?

I just tried to load the Morningstar Wings on G8M and the Auto-Fit prompt popped up.  What gives?  If it's designed for G8, then it should work out of the box.  On top of that, it doesn't even have a choice of "originally designed for Genesis 3 Male", just G3F.  If I let it auto-fit, it attaches itself to his arm movements, so if want his wings up, I have to move his arms.  That's a little weird.   Am I missing something with this product?

    I don't have the product, but I would not use autofit.  My guess, if you're prompted to autofit, just click cancel, or x or something along those lines, then parent the wings to the figures back (chest), I would imagine they have their own bones for posing and things, and those bones would be destroyed in the autofit process.

    But again, that's all just conjecture.

    I took the G8F wings, changed the identifier to G8M, and it fit okay to Floyd 8...

    Try a deinstall and reinstall..  I testing mine out and it should work like any other bit of anatomy.

    Ok.  I'll try that.

    Each set comes with a G8 and G3 version for the gender the set is for. You could have just selected the wrong one to attach. I've been using them a lot lately, and haven't run into any issues.

    Many of the wing sets in the DAZ store aren't really "for" any specific Genesis (or the older Unimesh) generation — they aren't supposed to be conformed, like clothes or hair, instead they're parented like a prop. In this case, what you do is load the wings without the figure selected (this avoids invoking Autofit, which can strip out wing-specific morphs and movements), then parent the entire wing object to the figure's Chest. Note that the last couple of Genesis generations have an Upper and Lower Chest; the wings should be attached to the Upper Chest (since they're usually supposed to be growing out of somewhere about the shoulder-blades). When you have the wings parented, you can use the base wing body — not any body part — x- y- and z-translate dials, plus any fitting dials there might be on the wings, to nudge them into exactly the position you want.
