I'm having a hair issue with some of the hair products for genesis. I'm trying to put two figures into a scene with the same hair. Here are two images, first is image with two figures and only one has hair. I click on the hairless figure and add the hair. loads and asks me if I want to replace or not, I select do not replace and the second image is what i get. two figure in the same space. So how do i do this. Its no just the one hair product I'm showing I've tried others some worked and others did the same thing.
Thanks

Are you using DS 4.03.47 or DS 4.5RC2? Can you list some of the hairs that do this -- I don't own Beautiful Black Hair?
I'm running 4.0.3.47 64bits
I'm not getting that. What is your "Replacement Management" setting in Edit > Preferences > Content Library? Can you go through your exact steps with one of the hairs that's included in DS4, e.g.:
Load Genesis
Translate to the Right
Load 2nd Genesis
Select 2nd Genesis
Load Aldora Hair
Select 1st Genesis
Load Aldora Hair
Try Hampton Hair. Two figure, add hair and they come together
Afraid I don't have that one. Do you move the first Genesis and then load the second with the 1st unselected? Which one do you apply the hair to first?
I commented on this a few days ago in another thread.
What is happening is that the Genesis you are applying the hair to is being "fit to" the other Genesis in the scene. In the Parameters tab, go to General->Misc->Fit to for the Genesis yu put the hair on and change it back to none. Your Genesis will then be put back in the position and pose it started with.
It shouldn't happen, but it's a simple enough fix.
Yes, But I think I found the issue. Both Hampton and BB are hr2 and not dsf files in Smart Contents. So are they truely working correctly with genesis or do I need to reinstall them or is there something else I need to do for each to work on two figure and other hair.
Historical Curls is also an .hr2 file and it does not do this. Once the hair has been applied and you change the "Fit to" back to none, then there shouldn't be any more issues unless you load another copy of the offending hair.
Hampton and BB are the only products I've seen this happen with - but I don't, by any means, own every hair product out there. None of the gen 3/4 .hr2 files I have do this so I don't think you are in any danger of having to worry about this for all hair products.
Its happenings with Vicky 4.2 also with BB. I've not tried Hampton so far. I'm also see the both are parenting the head and are listing inside the figure tree of items in the scene. back to work now. I'll play more later with it. But right now both BB and Hampton are Hair products I can't use :down:
Thanks guys and gals
Well, you got me there. I'm not having any issues with the gen 4 characters with either of these hair products.
You mentioned 'Smart Content' which means your using the CMS, try working without it and see if the same thing happens. Close DS, and stop the CMS either in the start menu or by ending the process in the task manager, restart DS and use the Content Library tab (Smart Content will be empty) to try and recreate the problem.
