***

**No Growth Mesh:**

* Turn this check box on if you are building XGen directly on a base geometry and no extracted growth meshes. This will disable the 'Growth Mesh(es)' slot.

**Growth Meshes Slot** :

* If your XGen is built on a growth mesh (separated from the base geometry), add all the growth meshes, or extracted geometries here.

**Old Base:**

* The original base geometry that the XGen is based on.

**New Base:**

* The new updated base geometry that you want to perform blendshape to.

**Blend:**

* **​**Performs blendshape operation.&#x20;
