Renderotica

Although it was working fine even just yesterday, I am now finding that the Golden Palace gens are not displaying on the torso.  Here are the steps I am using:
1) Created Genesis 8 female.
2) With G8 figure selected, clicked Golden Palace Genitalia V2.
3) With G8 figure selected, clicked Golden Palace Shell V2.

At this point, before applying the material texture, I see a vague outline of a shell on the torso, but no genitalia.  When I hide the G8 figure, the genitalia appear.  I thought that maybe the gens and shell weren't properly parented to the G8 figure, but when I looked at that, it wasn't the problem and both correctly appear indented below the G8 character in the Scene tab.  I tried selecting the Shell and then clicked the Shell Fix, but that didn't solve it.  Clicking to apply the Material doesn't fix it.  There is an option to Adjust Rigging to Shape, but clicking that didn't help either.  I suspect it is some sort of layering problem, but I don't know as I am still new to Daz Studio 4.20.

Btw:  There is nothing in the pdf that describes what the Rigidity option is supposed to do.  Clicking that does nothing except seem to create another gens (also not visible except by making the G8 figure invisible).  I cleared everything to see if I should use that option INSTEAD of clicking the standard genitalia option, but I get the same problem.  Reinstalled your product and rebooted my machine and still no joy.  Not only am I unable to see genitalia when creating new figures, the genitalia are now invisible on all my old figures that I had applied it to!  And finally, I also tried this with the G8.1 figure and your associated morphs with the same result.

It would be helpful if you described clearly what the Rigidity option is supposed to do and how to use it.  But in the meantime, if you could help me to get this to work I would be most grateful.  When I have gotten it to work before today, it creates very nice genitalia and I am looking forward to using it a lot in the future.  Breastacular works great as well.

The rigidity version includes a rigidity map that lessens the distortions of the graft as certain morphs are used, an example being various Big Girl Morphs, and Daz's Heavy Morph and characters that used them had some pretty severe stretching and distortion due to the graft attempting to match the underlying morphs, while the rigidity graft may not fix it 100% it does make a huge difference. Though there are still a few characters due to morphs and scaling that the graft doesn't work well with (Topsy, Ms. Hedgehog, Posey, and Petunia, and some of the creature morphs as examples) it makes a huge improvement for figures using the graft with more robust women.
