hello stger,

Based on my testing, I did not see any activity/changes that related to geoshell propagation into/onto the xxx_VWD items that VWD creates and manipulates.

My gut conclusion is that to use a simulated xxx_VWD item with a geoshell, you will need to create and texture a new geoshell on that VWD-produced item.

Perhaps Gérald made some other changes that I missed (there were a lot of tweaks done in the last two years!), but if the Utilities tab's 'Restore DAZ Mats + Anims' button does not produce the desired effect, I would imagine you'll have to re-create the geoshells on the xxx_VWD items manually.

Probably not the answer you were hoping for, but I hope it saves you some head-scratching. Maybe Gérald has some better news.
