Gorilla Genesis 8 Male & Similar -- Hiding Dforce Hair Nodes

beckermitchell44

While the hair is divied up into nodes on the figure, hiding a node either with the eye icon or the visibility parameter doesn't actually change the visibility. 
Already tried the tactic where you go to the Node Weight Map Brush and create a new surface groups, but I couldn't seem to select it by node or by preexisiting group like I can with other products.
On the surfaces tab, there's Arms, Ears, Face, Legs, and Torso, but I don't know how in the product examples they managed to hide the fur in more specific spots for clothing use.
Opacity maps are also flawed, cause they apply in a checkerboard pattern. So I couldn't, say, use a map to hide the bicep part of the Arms surface for use of a t-shirt, I'd have to hide the whole arm fur.
