Please daz allow to hide grafts

Some clothes hide body parts via grafts when attached to a figure. When hiding those clothes the graft remains active creating missing limbs or body parts:

This makes it impossible to quickly switch between loaded clothes.

There are workarounds for this in the forum like editing the duf file or the graft or adding additional hidden characters for those clothes. But all of those are cumbersome. Duf files can be encrypted not allowing to edit them while adjusting grafts or having another matching character is a lot extra work.
So please daz add a feature to have grafts hide together with the cloth they are attached to or add an option to hide grafts on their own.

    For the record, duf files are not encrypted, just compressed. You can uncompress them with a program like 7zip and then you'll be able to edit them.

    Thanks, that helps a lot as it is the least cumbersome workaround.
    Would be still nice to have the grafts deactivate with the hidden cloth or at least have an option to deactivate them.

    You obviously can disable the hiding geometry function but won't if cause problems that stuff that has to be hidden does not get hidden?

    If it is possible for DAZ to hide the grafts, I don't understand why it has not been enabled. I and others have been asking for this (in one way or another) for years. Just switching off visibility leaves a gaping hole and clothing falls into it.

    i use fit unfit in the scene tab, not an on/off but also not invasive for the scene building

    It can cause problems like clipping skin which was hidden but there are other options to work around that like scaling, sometimes a morph or keeping poses in a less extreme range. From the few I have tested it wasn't that different to non graft items who sometimes need the same workarounds. Depends probably on the creator and how much he relied on the graft fixing issues.

    it also makes those clothes etc useless for conversion for Carrara not that anyone else cares about that wink
