Is there a better way to Capture each model as close and overlapping as in the image?
Each has a name attribute (variant) so I think that could be used.

I’d like to ask you for your help

(only 4 models as an example, but there will be more in a production environment.)

Here's an option to get cleaner captures in this process:
- for geometry to be captured, promote the variant attribute to prims
- loop over that geometry, using the primitive variant attribute to split pieces
- within the loop: set a point group on your skeleton based on the current variant attribute, then limit the joint capture proximity to only capture with that group

Updated HIP attached.

I think that's the way I'd do it as well because the skinning tools only assume single connected pieces of geometry at a time.

Thank you very much!
It is exactly what I wanted.

All I had to do was combine for each and group!
