G8 Body parts disappear when wearing clothes.

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I purchased "S3D Fitness Clothes for Genesis 8 Females"

Loaded the pants on to my g8 character.

Was working on some new textures and noted that the hip and legs have been "hidden"

How do I "unhide" the body parts hidden under the pants?

Thanks

    Some vendors enjoy modeling wearables as geografts. Weird decision in my opinion especially when they don't give the option to load it any other way. I guess it's to avoid poke-through of the body when the weighting of vertices has been done a bit roughly :/ Loading a clothes as geograft means : no more way to dForce the cloth as there's nothing to colide with anymore, no more transparent cloth as there's no skin to show anymore... Small advantage, big drawback.

    It seems you can also edit the .dsf file (data folder) so that you're later able to load that cloth without having to fix the problem manually each time :

    Unfortunately, the only search option I found was the single box "Search Fourms" with no way to narrow the search, and when I typed in "Dissapearing Body Parts" I got a bazillion expanded results with the word "body" and "parts" and no way to drill down the results. Did I miss a setting in the somewhere?

    No, you didn't miss anything. Daz forum search is pathetic. Google search works much better. Include site:www.daz3d.com/forums in your Google search. For example:
