Isolating single sections of clothing for D-Force Surface Adjuster?

Is this possible somehow? I had thought maybe Geometry Selection or something but that doesn't seem to have an effect.

You could indeed create new material zones with the geometry editor then set dynamic strength to 0 on zones you don't want simulated.

Another option would be to use a dForce weight map to define which parts of the surface are influenced by the simulation and which are not. That's usually what's done for skirts which don't have a separate "belt" material zone, to prevent them from "sliding" from the hips: a dForce weight map sets polygons around the waist as non-dynamic, while the rest of the skirt is affected by the simulation.

Wow, two options, that's very helpful. Thanks very much!
