Surface tab templates

Sorry - I've tried searching this, but I keep just finding guides on how to export UV templates.

I'm sort of expecting to be told that this is a PA-only or Daz-only feature, but how would one set up those groups in the Surface Tab where several surfaces are under one category? (Such as on Genesis 8, with a "Template 1" that groups the Face, Ears, Lips and EyeSocket surfaces, or "Skin" that affects all skin, etc).

As I've mentioned in a couple of different threads, I'm trying to make myself an update for the Lorez figures. The problem is they've got huge numbers of surfaces in order to facilitate using the zones for clothing, but it makes it an absolute pain to test parameters, because I have to keep going through the list and selecting just the right surfaces every time I need to make a change. Being able to set up a few groups of surfaces would make it a lot less tedious.

    Is this what you need? From the Surface Tab, right-click the context menu. The rest should be easy enough to figure out. Never done it myself, but it looks like the way to go.

    That would be what I'm looking for! I did look on that menu, but evidently completely missed it because I was looking for the word "templates".

    That makes things massively easier - now I can set up group presets rather than spending half the time trying to reselect the right surfaces manually every time.

    Many thanks!
