This is exactly what I want but i cant get it to work.
I followed your instructions and all i get when i bring it into CC3 is part of the head with the hair. The only difference i can se in 3DX is its the only section with a shaded ball in the hierarchy. Ive tried hiding all the other elements on the G3 Dylan character (its the only one I have with bare arms) it still doesnt work.
There is nothing selected in the 3DX window.
I dont know if makes a difference but i only have 3DXchange pro not pipeline.
Here are some of my screen shots to see if it helps.
I never imported an item as an accessory before but i went to create>accessory>found the tempAvatar.obj
