Any idea to export models but only visible parts?

I'm trying to export clothed models but don't want to export all of Genesis 8 and all of the costume.  I want some of the hidden parts to be excluded.  Any ideas?

    Both OBJ and FBX export dialogues include options to export only visible nodes.

    you can also hide parts by individual faces with the geometry editor as well as by group, bone and surface name.

    I use this frequently for iClone and Unreal imports to reduce overheads.

    Sagan has very flexible facilities for deciding what you want exported.

    I've found that simply hiding items for FBX export doesn't work.  On OBJ export it does.

    For FBX, I simply prep a scene copy for export by deleting unwanted items first.

    It's also very simple to delete what you don't need!
