Autogen use or non-use in Daz Studio 4.12

Mardook

At the risk of sounding like a newb, which I am not.

Would someone explain this a bit more, I see it mentioned in the threads about clothing and hair, which I usually have issues with. In general, I have no real idea what it is and where in the program you find this setting.

Much thanks. :)

they probably mean autofit which is where you have DS automatically fit the clothing or hair to the figure that is isn't natively designed for, such as GF3 hair fit to GF8. In most cases, this works fine, but it usually destroys any special bones or posing handles, especially with hair. There are 2 other options to try also. If just going back and forth between the G3 and G8 models you can just change the scene identifier to the figure you want to use it on and then fit as normal and this usually works well (see image)

You can also parent any items that doesn't need to bend of follow movemnet like hair and this keeps all the special bones intact.
