How to cut an object

mike_disc

Hi community I would like to know if ot was possible to cut (separate) an object ?

For example I have a chain with hook and would like to use on the chain, is it possible to separate them and how ? Is it possible directly in Daz Studio ?

Thank you

It can be done, using the Geometry Editor, though I wouldn't want to try that for a complex of extensive job.  You can use the Geometry Editor to select the polygons you wish to lose, then right-click>Geometry Editing>Remove Selected (from memory).  Just be aware that all occurences of a given figure or prop in the scene will use instances of the same geometry asset, so in a case like this you would need to save each part as a new asset (File>Save As>Support Assets>Figure Prop/Asset) and load the original into a new scene (for safety, I am not sure it has to be a new scene) before doing the next round of separation.
