Create single shaping control from multiple shaping sliders

in Daz Studio Discussion

Is there a way to create a single shaping control from multiple shaping sliders such as we see in DAZ Store characters with a single control for body and face? To be clear, a way of doing it so that when looks in Currently Used under Shaping you would only see the combined control vs all the individual controls that were collectively used.

I'm thinking that some time ago I saw a forum discussion saying that there was a tool for doing this but it was reserved for PAs.

Thank you.

    1. Set the shape on an otherwise zeroed character
    2. right-click in the Parameters pane, check Edit Mode (if it isn't)
    3. right-click in the property group you want to add the control to>Create New Property.
    4. In the dialogue give it a name and label (label is what you see), adjust limits if desired (e.g. set Min to 0 if you don't wnat it to go negative) and click Create.
    5. Set the value of the new proeprty to 100% (or 1, if not set to display %)
    6. Right-click on the new proeprty>ERC Freeze
    7. Check the list of Sub-components in the dialogue box to make sure there is nothing that shouldn't be there, then click Accept

    Make sure it works; if it does and you want to have it available on all characters based on that figure then make sure it iss et to zero, then use File>Save As>Suport Assets>Modifier Asset (not Modified Assets). The options dialogue is letting you set the folder names for the .dsf within the \data....\Morphs\ fodler for the base figure.

    Thank you, Richard. I have done this with pose controls before but not with shapes.
