FBM vs CTRL morphs...

So adding in some of the Full Body Morphs FBM's for my clothing.  I'm noticing that when you go into the properties of each morph instead of having FMB there is CTRL.  Now mind you this is for the Core figure shapes like Michael and Darius et all.... not for the more common morphs like Bodybuilder or Heavy.... but it's a question I need answered as I've already done allot of the work but curious if I'm on the WRONG path.  I've been saving out the fit morphs under the CTRL but if that's wrong I need to know now.  If it's an either or and doesn't matter then I'll keep working away.  

The clothing morphs I own and am putting into the clothing are: Darius, Michael, Sanjay, Floyd, Lee, The Brute, Edward, Owen and Vladimir as well as some of the regular FBM's.  

I do realize that the CTRL combines morphs like the Face, Body and Scale ... I think that using this for clothing will keep the scale part working correctly for the clothing as the G8M is morphed.  

Thoughts? Tips? Tidbits? 

Thank you

    Also, when selecting Favorites, is there a way to make them favorites between each session?  

    What I mean is when I save out the Work FIle (WF) and then go out, run errands, go to the gym, come home and start up DS and bring up the WF the favorites are no longer favorited.  Seems odd, I could have sworn in past versions of DS if you saved out a scene or WF with those selected they were there when you restarted the session... not the case with DS 4.11!

    Some of the Name 8 characters haev a head anda  body morph, and the name 8 slider is a controller driving those. You need to make sure that you are adding the morphs, not teh controllers, to ypour clothing or the morphs will also project in and you will get a double effect.

    What I found works to keep strange things from happening is when I got the Tank Top saved out, I went into the data / morphs folder for it and removed the saved FBM files and kept the CTRL files.  Seems to be working quite well.  As I stated, since the CTRL files also have the Scale connection (usually used for height) I think it may be useful to use those when possible.....

    Scale should be inherited from the parent figure.

    OK... thanks Richard! 

     

    My other question above.  IS there a way to save out a file with my favorites saved so I don't have to go back in each session and resave the favorites?  See screenshot in the above post.  

     

    Thank you

    There was a bug with saving presets in 4.11.0.383 - it's fixed in the current Public Build, 4.12.0.33.

    Ah, so it's not released as of yet in the General Release.  I hope soon.  Quite annoying for my work flow!
