My character has clothes,skin, and hair. But in the shape library displays only default.AvatarBody and default.AvatarRoot. This is a problem when I try to assign materials in Karma as it only shows those two. How can I get it to show my groups from the fbx?? pleasee help

If that's the case, you should edit your FBX file and set those parts as different pieces of geometry. Dealing with multi-materials is a bit tricky, so the easiest workaround is to have each material on its own separate geometry. That way, in the Shape Library you'll find default.Body, default.Hair, default.Cloth... And the material assignment will be easier 👌🏻
