Yes I used the tool for exporting my first character to Blender with the regular bridge. It worked great :-)

But I have 3 more characters and I'd love to be able to use Diffeomorphic to export them. It's such a great import/export tool.

If it can help, I tried using your tool and Diffeomorphic together. The pelvis area didn't fuse with the rest of the body (as it does only using Diffeomorphic) but the command did not export neither.

But anyway, we can continue using the original method to load the ngg9's morph files as shape keys, which is:
Do not merge the character and ngg9 yet. Instead, select the ngg9 Mesh in the Outliner.
In the DAZ Setup panel, under Morphs, click the "Import Custom Morphs" button.
In the Blender File View window, navigate to the ngg9 installation folder and find the folder containing its morphs. Then select some or all .dsf files and click the "Import Custom Morphs" button.
Then you can see the morphs you just selected in the Shape Keys panel under the Data tab in Blender.
In Blender's Outliner, select the character Mesh, then additionally select the ngg9 Mesh. In the DAZ Setup panel, under Finishing, click "Merge Geografts". This way, the ngg9 Mesh merges with the character's Mesh, but its Shape Keys remain effective.

Hi, the first time I imported the character and ngg9 using Easy Import in Diffeomorphic 5, they were already merged. I thought I had to write a plugin to recreate all shape keys for this merged model. It turned out to be unnecessary because later when I imported the character and ngg9 again, they were separate, which is a bit strange.

But anyway, we can continue using the original method to load the ngg9's morph files as shape keys, which is:

Hi, I'll give it a try when exporting my next character to Blender. Many thanks for looking into it :-)

Hi, I just tried to export with Diffeomorphic again and following your instructions and it worked fine. Many many thanks.
