What are DAZ Studio face groups (used in figure creation) called in Lightwave's Modeler? 

The last time I did figure creation was in the days of Poser v4. I never learned how to use the "new" tools in DAZ Studio. Instead I have been creating simple props. That said, I occasionally create things with more complex geometry that uses moving parts. Currently I am importing each part separately and setting up the hierarchy in the scene tab by parenting, but I know creating a figure is the better way to go. 

Thanks in advance.

    Parts, as I recall.

    I would have thought so too, but I'm not getting the results that I expected.. Thanks, Richard.

    Are you putting spaces in the part names? OBJ does not officially support that.

    Spaces in part names is a good thought, but no.

    I won't pretend to understand why, but all the parts showed up in DAZ Studio's Figure Setup window (when I added the geometry) after I created a single selection set (in Lightwave) for all the points in one component.  What I expected or hoped to see was the single component for which I created a selection set.  I was pleased when all the parts showed up.

    I'm confused but happy with the results.

    I am using Lightwave 3D version 9.6
