Hi, I've been wondering if it is possible to create your own "body parts" to an existing figure using the group tool in Poser or Daz so you could choose to display or not display certain parts.

Problem is , with some models they are nicely separated out; you select the figure and then go into body parts and select what you want then hide or show accordingly.

My biggest grumble is with furniture or large scene figures, for example in this attached image I have Macleans home one Kitchen unit. Yes the doors and oven and other parts are defined as body parts but I want to create a new group called "Hood" just the range hood, and add this as a body part, so I could rotate, scale or choose to display or not display.

Is this even possible in Poser or Daz ? I've been looking through numerous tutorials and I could spawn a new prop of my grouped part, or I could spawn all the props and then delete the parts I don't want but then there is the hassle of putting all the parts back together again.

Is there no simple way to "group" together some polys and say "ok your now body part "blah"

been banging my head against the wall with this one so would appreciate if anyone has any pointers
