This feature allows you to arrange pieces into clusters directly from the 3D window over the avatar's body. This means that you do not necessarily need to use the 2D arrange window. Pieces that are unassigned to a cluster are called undefined pieces. You can show and hide the undefined pieces inside the 3D window using the Undefined pieces button.
Prerequisites:
-
If using an imported avatar, the Anchor points are mapped correctly on the avatar's body. For more information, refer to Setting Up an Imported Avatar.
-
The avatar is in Prepare mode
-
Undefined pieces exist
You can show undefined pieces over the avatar in the 3D window.
