Attached Link: The Group tool can help you out...

Ok, at the 3D-CC I get a lot of files to deal with... the latest trend is to add conforming clothing to a figure... and then HIDE the parts of the original figure under the clothing... cool right? Well, it's a pain to pose later on... because you have to make the parts visible again or select them in the Hirearchy window... How about instead... make the parts you want to hide TRANSPARENT? All you would have to do is make a new GROUP out of the parts and call it something like HIDEME and then create a transparent material setting for them all at once... then you can pose away and not have to play with the settings anymore. Maybe I should add this to the Advanced Group Tool Tutorial I'll work on next week? Doug For the beginner group tutorial go to the 3D-CC2 at http://titan.spaceports.com/~3dcc2/

I came, I rendered, I'm still broke.

Another clever tip. Thanks. And yes, more tutes!

Why use the hierarchy editor? Just click on the part of the clothes covering the invisible bodypart and then select the base figure from the drop-down menu below the display. If you select the right shoulder of a shirt that's conformed to a figure, just select the name of the figure from the list and it will automatically have its (invisible) right shoulder selected for you to pose.

Making transparent groups to help with conforming clothing was discussed in this thread.
