Too many balls

Well i know what they are and what they are for, but having overdone the pudding and the sherry i can't recall how to hide them. So if some kind soul who did not over indulge can point me in the right direction i'll stagger on over and hide them after my afternoon snooze...
Thank you in anticipation...

    I'm not sure if those are part of the outfit or a prop but you can do a couple things.

    One is open up the scene tab and find them in the list of things in your scene and right click and choose to remove them. Or you can right click on them on the scene preview and do the same thing.

    If you are not wanting to get rid of them but want to hide them, find them in the surface tab and make the opacity level 0.

    I suspect they may be posing "handles" which are usually included with skirts, dresses, long tunics, etc.

    What I usually do is change the opacity for the handles to zero in the Surfaces Tab. That should hide them from view when you render.

    Your both right, they are posing handles but i could not find a way to actually select them in the scene tab. However thanks to you ladies i did the job in surfaces as you suggested. Had i not enjoyed Christmas quite so much i might, just might have got there on my own, but it never hurts to have a clever woman on your side does it.
    Thank you both so much and a happy new year...

    One small gotcha — they shouldn't be, but occasionally a handle surface has been given settings that persist after you've turned opacity down. Usually what you see is a faint ghostly discolouration where the handle was. Go through the rest of the Surfaces tab for the handles and turn all the other dials down to zero. If there are colours, change them all to black.

    One of the most common ones is the Ambient that has some non-black color and something other than zero strength...

    I haven't come across that, yet, but it's certainly a good point to remember.
