Copy Attributes

The DAZ Importer stores the original vertex numbers, material groups and polygon groups as custom attributes when a mesh is imported. However, often we don't need this extra information, and it is removed by [Finalize Meshes](Setup_Finishing_Finalize Meshes) tool. If we want to restore the attributes, we can import a second figure with the same topology and copy the attributes from that.

Our original mesh lacks the custom attributes.

We import another mesh with the same number of vertices, edges and polygons. It has four custom attributes: DazVertex, DazGraft, DazMaterialGroup, and DazPolygonGroup.

Choose which attributes to copy.

Now the original mesh has the selected attributes. Note that DazMaterialGroup was not selected and hence does not copied.
