  How did you make the hair? Was it made for the base figure? Have you rigged the hair?

  1.  I imported the hair OBJ and used DAZ's Transfer Utility function.The hair then has the skeleton of G8FM and then I save the hair.

  2. Save As >>>Support Asset >>>Figure/Prop Assets

  3. When using the saved hair on other characters, there are questions.

  Applying other characters to G8 figure will auto-generate the character fit morph on the hair. This is sometimes ok but most times not good.  You can repair or modify that auto generated morph:

  And for advanced use you can apply rigidity so character morphs do not affect most parts of the hair in future:

  It is a lot of work to fit many characters
