I've been trying to use the Morphing Tool in P7 to create morphs to help me out with some poke-through in clothing on some poses but I always have the same problem - I select the clothing item and its proper actor (in this case, the left collar on the Alicism shirt), I select the Custom Morph tab of the morphing tool and then I try to click on the correct area in the shirt and it always registers the click on the V4 model rather than the shirt since her polygons are poking through the shirt that I want to select.

How can I keep the selection on just the shirt without having to make the figure invisible (as once I do that I don't have a reference on what I'm fixing anyway)?

I havent tried this so i dont know if it works or not but try holding down shift while your clicking.  I know while selecting/moving stuff holding down shift will keep it from changing actors.

Thanks for the tip; doesn't seem to be working though :/

What happens if you Lock Actor on Victoria?

Na...that doesn't work. I have been looking also for fix to this. The Morph tool is a great thing if only this could be solved.....

Poor work around: make the body part of V4 invisible...

the morph tool reminds me of the old amorphium app. not easy to master IMVHO. that's the advantage to the oft-hated magnets. they allow one to select the object and even the group of polygons.

First, lock Victoria. Then select the model. When you start to work on the pokethrough, work your way from an area that is NOT poking through inward toward the area that is poking through. You might be selecting Victoria because you are starting on some polygons that are poking through the clothing.

Ya know I love this tool......the smoothing and all works great. EF please address this issue in the next SR.... then you have a winner...

Deecey...that is what I have found...tricky but it works. Just check though that a morth hasn't been created for your underlying figure. If there is...just delete the unwanted morph.

Ok, I'll try that Deecey!

I'm also planning to order your book pretty soon btw! :D

PS - Thanks for the extra tips on it Willber! :)
And yes, I believe if EF addresses that, it will be a truly wonderful step up! Heck, Poser already has a very powerful architecture on the grouping side - now it's just a matter of letting us have more power over them doing things such as locking the group we're working on similar to how in Photoshop you only work on the currently selected layer (unless you check to auto-select layers of course).

I was having the same problem and what I did was hide the body parts under the clothing. Worked like a charm. R

Layers....now that's a great idea.....

Rik...if you hide the underlying figure it makes it really hard to tell when you have fixed the poke through.
