Morph Dial/Controller Question

amber.baine

I created a morph for Aiko 6 through a combination of custom sculpting and dialing, and once it was finished I created a dial for it in DAZ by creating a new property, dialing my morph up, adjusting the rigging to fit my new shape, and then using ERC Freeze. The dial does what it's supposed to do; when I dial up my morph appears, when I dial down my morph disappears (with Aiko 6 already loaded/dialed up on the G2 Female). Problem is, I'd like for Aiko 6 to dial up along with my morph when starting from the standard G2 female instead of having to dial both my morph and Aiko 6 separately. I know there's a way to do it because I've done it before (by luck :P) and because it's done with character morphs that I've gotten from here, but I just can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone help?

Put the Parameters pane in edit mode (right-click, but you probably already know this) and find the Aiko 6 morph, then right-click on it and select Show in Property Hierarchy. In the Property Hierarchy pane expand the options until you can see Controllers>1st Stage. Now find your morph in the Parameters pane and drag it onto the Controllers heading fro the Aiko 6 morph in the Property Hierarchy. Now expand the settings in the Property Hierarchy under Controllers>1st Stage>Your Morph>Attributes, find the Save with line, click on it to activate it and change the drop down to your morph (otherwise the ERC link will be saved with the A6 morph, and will be overwritten if there's an update to A6 or if you reinstall fro any reason). Now save the modified asset for your morph (assuming you'd already saved it in its initial version).

It worked! Thanks so much! :) I didn't even think of looking at the Property Hierarchy for a possible solution.
