Head disconnects from Body

Question

Whenever I put the body layer (in Illustrator) under the +WhobutChris layer as one whole layer, the hoodie disappears in Character Animator. So I made it it's own layer and now it won't move, but the head will.

Ok so I just duplicated the body (hoodie) layer and added it to the quarter layers and that solved it.

Two alternative pieces of advice:

That should not be necessary - dig in to learn what you are doing wrong
You got it working - get on with your life because time is short

Your call! 😉

Generally there should be a single root, +Whobutchris. Inside is generally Head and Body. I would normally put Hat inside the Head layer so it follows the head. You have head turns I see - so I would put a copy of the hat inside each head turn as it will display one of the turns at a time, hiding the other children. If you put Hat next to the profiles, that might be why the hat disappeared (the profiles might have taken it as a different profile so hid it).
