How to save custom properties?

  Control what aspect of GeoGrafts? The  Genesis figures control their grafts by having idenitcally named properties on both graft and figure, so that setting the property on the figure directly affects the graft in the same way.

  using Studio 4.24 I don't see that - anything from horns, tails, anatomicals, I only see the relevant property to control them on the specific object in the scene heirarchy.

  Example: Load Genesis 9, then load male anatomical elements.
  "Default Pose" only shows up on the anatomical element's scene graph object under parameters.

  If I create a "My property" on the Genesis 9 root model, and set it to control "Default Pose" in the property heirarchy, I have something on the base model that does the same thing.

   

  Specific context of why I want this - when I export to Unity, geograft blend morphs don't seem to get included in the export, however if I create a custom property on the base model that controls the geograft, this works to get the morph in.

  It's just very labour intensive and prone to user error having to do this every time with every new model I put together.

  It has to be explicitly set up, it isn't an automatic process - set up the morphs/controllers on the GeoGraft with AutoFollow on, set up a property with the same name (name rather than label) on the figure, and they should track in DS - I don't know how well they will export though.

  Well, I'm not 100% sure what you really want.... but if you created a controling property on G9 to control multiple sub-component properties on a geo-graft on G9... did you save the sub-component properties on the geo-graft as well ?

  If you did, it would work ~~ because in such case of Genesis figure + conformed wearables / attachment e.g. geo-grafts, garments..., all the formulae that push value to the modifiers are all saved in the sub-component properties rather than their controller(s).  Only saving the controling property is not enough ~~

  So in the example you mentioned, you should've also saved Default Pose on G9 AE.

  Edit: But if you were creating morphs (delta) on G9 and/or the geo-grafts, you should import the morphs by using Facet Order option in Morph Loader Pro plus turning on AutoFit on the controlling property.
