Quote - Ok Gotcha. 

DS's library is extremely confusing to navigate, which is why I rarely use it. Everything is dumped in one folder and I have to scroll through everything just to find the base figure I'm looking for. I've yet to find a way to separate clothing from materials or props or figures or other models. 

Regardless, once I find her in the pile, I can send Genesis 1 female shape to zbrush and build a bra for her with no confusion as to which gender she is.

On genesis 1, you would generally build on the base shape. You can build to any particular shape but you would have to use an option in the Transfer Tool to reverse the clothing to the base shape and clean the mesh up. If you had any details on the clothing, they may end up warped using this method.

This is basically one of the major reasons for the gender split in genesis 2 as you don't have to do all that to get an outfit and designed on a female shape.
