Polygon Group Editor Basics

Guys,

I've been trying out the Polygon Group Editor this morning and I've hit a problem. I've selected the editor and the surface, a yellow line has appeared around it.

I can't get the polygon selection menu to appear. When I right click on the surface, all I get is a surfaces menu. I have attached a jpeg which shows the screen.

I suspect I am making a very basic, noobies mistake. I have searched the forum but I can't find any noobie-proof answers to this problem.

Many thanks for your attention.

Cheers,

Alex.

That is the Surface Selection tool that you have selected, you want the one three to the right, Geometry Editor Tool (Alt+Shift+G)

You also need to have the Tool Settings tab open as that is where the interface for it is located.

Jimmy,

Thanks for your fast reply. I was following these instructions:

Tools
Polygon Group Editor
Select Item in scene
Polygon selection

The instructions should be:

Select item and surface first.
Invoke the Polygon Group Editor
Right click on the selected surface to invoke the Polygon selection menu

Another, related, thing I found out the hard way: Once the gown has been edited and a new surface has been created, highlight the genesis figure in the scene pane and then save the gown as a wearables preset. Exit Daz, re-enter and then apply the saved preset to the figure.

Cheers,

Alex.
