Trying attachments in magos model editor

[Sunchips]

I have made a chest attachment but I want to be able to see it in magos model editor in order to place it right on a models body before i import to the game how can you do it? I tried playing around with the bones and things but I didn't figure it out :/

This is what I looked at, how do you do to import an attachment model to see how it fit on a villager?

Alrighty!
-First, you're going to want to make that armor attachment point be a bone (works better, geosets are meant to be attached to bones).
-Secondly, you're going to want to open up your attachment in Magos (export it to .mdx first, if you haven't already). You're going to need to export all of the geosets involved in your attachment model. You can keep this organized by putting them in a folder somewhere.
-Thirdly, you need to import those geosets into that villager model (geoset manager > right click > import). When importing the geosets, attach all of them to the same bone (in this case the "armor" bone, which IS a bone now).
-Apply a material to them, and you're done

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

Thanks but I actually want to use the chest bone they have made for the villager model and then try to attach my armor to it in order to see how it would look with the animations if it would clip too much, is there a faster way to do this? Or do I have to do all that anyway?

Oh alright, do that then. It should work.
And yes, you have to do ALL of that.

Guys, you know that Wc3 only works with pre-programmed attachment point names, didn't you? You cannot give them names you like. You have to stick to certain names. Although with the given modifiers (for example: "Chest First ref ") the model can have lots of usable attachment points.
