Maintaining Geo Vertex/Face Counts with Zipper Exports from MD to DAZ

Hi everyone,

I've been encountering a persistent issue when trying to export a shirt with a zipper from Marvelous Designer to DAZ Studio. Despite trying various settings and export options, I keep losing vertices and faces between the open and closed states of the zipper. Here's a rundown of what I've attempted so far:

1. **Base MD Export**: I've tried numerous settings and export options.
2. **Maintaining Exact Settings**: Ensured consistency across all export attempts.
3. **Export Methods**: Used both "Thin" and "Thick" options, among others.
4. **Re-Simulation**: Simulated the garment prior to each export to see if it would help maintain the geometry.

Despite these efforts, I continue to face failures in maintaining the exact vertex and face details. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any insights on how to prevent the loss of vertices and faces when using zippers in Marvelous Designer?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

    Hmmm. I just tried this on my end and it seemed to work with no difference in point counts. I am not too sure why this is happening to you

    Thank you for your response.

    I encountered an issue where the item would not honor the morph regardless of the export settings. A similar problem arose when creating a new item and providing PJCM support through GoZ and manual Blender adjustments. Despite working with the same item and its shape keys previously, DAZ suddenly recognized it as having new geometry. This issue began when GoZ unexpectedly displayed a pop-up message stating that the mesh was now a SubD upon re-import into DAZ.

    I will continue investigating this as I develop new items. If I identify the cause of this error or determine a solution, I will document it here for the benefit of others.

    For now, I am pleased to know that the functionality is achievable, as others have successfully implemented it. Thank you again for your assistance.
