Howdy, I wanted to know when you model an item that shares two body parts (IE a kneepad for M3 that will share rThigh and rShin), when you are about to "group" this kneepad, how exactly do you determine which polygons belong to the rThigh body part and which polys belong to the rShin body part?  I know you can use automatic grouping system utilities such as OBJ2CR2 converter or Tool Collection's ConCloth, however, I'd like to know if you prefered to group the polys manually to match M3's body parts (int his case a kneepad which shares both of M3's knee and shi), what factors if any do you use to determine this?  Is there some colorcoded guide that can be used to determine this or would it be mostly guesswork and/or trial and error?

Thanks in advance,

-J
