How to transfer (many) wearables at once from 8f to 8m?
So, i have a robot model that is parented to a g8f model. All of the individual parts are not fitted to the g8f model, but parented to it in ways that preserve it as the g8f model moves. I am trying to transfer the model to g8m. Using the Transferto:Genesis8Male tool (which reshapes the female model into the base male model) adequately transforms the individual pieces into the positions they should be. However, when I 'save as a wearable' and then attempt to load the pieces again to a g8m model, they have reverted to what they were prior to the Transfer tool use.
How might I bake in the transfer tool positioning/resizing of the objects (all the pieces are simple objects) that make up the robot model? For reference, there are many hundreds of pieces.
Thanks for the help!

You're still saving them as wearable for G8F.
Adding a G8M figure to your scene and then manually move each prop from G8F to G8M, parenting them to the correct bone on G8M should fix your problem. Which may not be practical if you have hundreds of pieces sadly.
If you want something automated, Prop Minion could be a solution. I don't own the product, so it's best to ask if it would work in this situation, in its commercial discussion before buying it:

Hopefully, someone more knowleadge about Daz may provide you another solution.
I assume you use the "Transfer to..." morph from this product https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-cross-figure-resource-kit
However... you should've done it reversely :
1) Select your G8F, save a Wearable Preset with that Robot Prop(s).
2) Load a G8M, dial "Transfer To: Genesis8Female" property to 100% on it. Unselect G8M ! Just load the saved Wearable Preset into the scene (not parented).
3) Parent Robot and its parts to the corresponding Bone nodes. Then zero "Transfer To: Genesis8Female" property on G8M. Done ~
But as Elor mentioned, if there're many parts under that Robot parented to different Bone nodes... the process of parenting will be tedious. If you cannot accept such a process, go for buying Prop Minion which can automate this process by using a Bone Minion.
