Derive a partial mesh?

I have a nice table and chair mesh and I want to know if it's possible to derive only the chair with no animations so I can add stand alone animations separately.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks!

Maybe able blackout on opacity also to remove the table?

That's what I was thinking, but the table will need its own material ID or its own submesh. If it shares a material ID with the chair, but has its own submesh ... then we could edit the table's material ID to be different than the chair's.

i hadn't checked if it's separate but good suggestion. I remember you taught me to decompile and add nodes. Can I use the same method to remove them? I think making things transparent would still technically include the mesh with everything and my kbs would be high for a single chair.

ty. I could mesh a chair but I have a nice set in my club and I really like it but wouldn't want to steal someone's work. Turning the table invisible wouldn't work unless I can remove the nodes. There's 2 chairs and one table. Each chair has a sit pose, table has a node and there's another standing node next to it. 3 of the poses are kink poses. I want to add an empty chair so I can have regular seating that matches. I had a handful of people in the club and it's awkward when the third seat is either a toe sucking or fondling pose lol i think I need at least 3 regular seats.

Correct, you can remove the nodes by decompiling the xsf skeleton file and removing all of the stance nodes from the skeleton.

I tried the decompilation, I wanted to remove a monitor & all the couple poses from a table top but gave up after 40 minutes of attempts. Dont know if its just me or anything past the texture replacement in create is way too complicated.
