Hiding the Blade of a Sword

Alden7e

Hey, folks!

I was messing around with a sword prop the other day (Sword of Time), and I swear I haphazardly ran into a way to turn off the visibility of just the blade. Well, I now have a reason to actually do that, but I cannot recall how I did it the first time. Did I dream this whole thing or is there actually a way to selectively turn a sub item invisible?

 

Thanks in advance for any insight!

Check the Scene pane to see if the sword has multiple "bones".  Check the Surfaces pane to see if it has a separate surface for the blade.  If it has neither of these, you can use the Geometry Editor to create them.  There's a tutorial on it here:  https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/42088/tutorial-adding-surfaces-in-ds-with-the-geometry-editor-tool

Thanks! That helped me track down where I had found it before! 

Cheers!
