Quote - Kind of pointless hiding sleeves and hood if you are going to drape it....whether they are invisible or not, they will continue to interact in the cloth room.

And that's OK, since I'm giving the cloth item another option.

Quote - If what you are trying to do is have a dynamic cloth with different options as to sleeves/no sleeves, hood/no hood, I'd suggest the simplest method is have more than one prop.

Another geometry, another set of textures, that's duplicate work for an extra that I'm giving away.  I want parity with the features I've given the dynamic clothes in DAZ Studio, that's all. 

  The solution you gave me before to simply replace the opacity map worked excellent, thanks.  I know this has to be simpler to do, just gotta find the right code I guess.
