lesbentley: That's weird. Your handle setup works for me in P6, but not in P8. In P8 I don't see the handles no matter what the dial is set to. Not sure if that's supposed to be a bug or a feature. Definitely worth investigating further.
What I did in my version is use two alternate geometries for each handle actor. The first one is empty and the second one contains the actual handle mesh. Then I set the lower limits for the geometry channels to 1 and the upper limits to 2. That works for both P6 and P8. I thought the more straightforward way didn't work because the default geometry is empty, but since I first tried it in P8, it might actually be related to the problem I had with your version.
By the way, my setup for the body handle does not work correctly in DAZ Studio, which is a bit annoying. All the other handle switches are fine, so I guess the body actor is treated in a special way. Unless I find a way to set this up which works the same in at least P6 through P8 and D|S, it's probably better to get rid of the extra body handle or at least put it in a pose file instead of the base cr2.
