I stumbled across this "undocumented feature" [Wink]
[/Wink]. Anyway, the results are pretty cool. It seems that if you Ghost On an object and then add another limb, the new limb is solid. However, the way DBP handles the limb is very different than the way it would handle a solid object (not a limb and/or not ghosted).
Have a look,
