Find a CAS Part

Before adding any designs to your CAS part, you

have to chose which mesh you wish to use.

• Parameters - Use the age, gender and type

parameters to dial up a mesh category. Then select the mesh you want to use from the drop down list. The thumbnail to the right of the screen allows you to preview the mesh.

• Quick Find - Once you dial up the age,

gender and type, Quick Find allows you to scroll through thumbnails to pick which mesh you wish to use.

Part Details

Part Details is for information purposes only. More advanced users can use this list to help locate specific files and details of the package.

Part Category

The Part Category tab allows you to change the categorization of the CAS part. Most of these are pretty self-explanatory.

Changing the age and/or gender of a CAS part can cause some pretty wacky results. So don't be shocked if you get something weird.
