Help correcting strange teeth and gum issue on G8F

felicia.s

Hi! I have a custom "vampire" G8F model I purchased from someone recently and while posing it I noticed the teeith looked weirdly deep set from the lips.

Well, upon further inspection, it appears all the original model's teeth are gone and a new set are behind the original gums?

Also it's only a partial set of teeth (no back teeth) that none of the Teeth Control morphs even affect.

Any idea how I can either remove this imposter partial set of teeth and put new ones in the correct gums or at least pull this weird set forward in the mouth where they should be?

I've included a screenshot. Thank you so much!

In the Scene pane, expand the entries for the figure (you can right-click on it and choose Expand from Here, or for more cotnrol click the triangles next to the figure name and then the bone names to work up the trunk and to the head). Are theer any items named teeth parented to the figure, that have an icon other than a bone next to their name?

Yes! 

But interestingly, when I hide Upper Teeth from the Scene pane, the upper front toothless gums disappear, but clicking Lower Teeth from the Scene pane selects nothing and its hide button does nothing.

No... don't filter by teeth or anything... Richard thought that there might be a separate wearable or geo-graft of vampire's Mouth or something on this character but the original Genesis's Mouth and Teeth surfaces are not auto-hidden.

Just simply expand the root node of the character and check if there's any other sub-nodes...though I doubt it a bit thru your screenshot...

Yes, I found both upper and lower teeth sets.

Those are the problem, for some reason (perhaps an additional shaping morph in effect) theya re not fitting - props do not pick up morphs on the figure theya re parented to, unlike fitted items. It may be worth seelcting each of the teeth props in turn and looking at the Parameters pane to see what adjustments they have.
