Digitallab3D Closed Door Policy

Kitsumo

Ok. I was wondering about that. It looks like a door, oddly shaped though. Well thanks for the research. I already have one Digitallab3d set with a door welded shut. I guess that's enough for me.

I bought the recording studio set. It looks very cool, but nothing is adjustible. Nothing on the mixing board moves, the microphones are not adjustable, etc etc...really limits the useabilty. 
It would be a lot of work to bone all thaqt stuff, but there is a set on another site where a lot of things move, so its possible,.

I started not to buy anymore from PAs where nothing is adjustable or rigged.

I know that Daz product descriptions tend to be surprisingly short, but here is where just saying what the items is would solve a lot of problems.

The room has an opening door, with nothing behind it.  The description says "The door opens (please note there is nothing behind it, add whatever you want!)" or something. And there is a clay model render so it is clear what is included.  One could even add text to one of the pictures "The door opens! Add your own scenes behind".  The opening door is a massive selling point.  Not having something behind it is not really that big an issue for the majority of users, surely.

Saying that people will assume there would be something is only valid if the descriptions are too short to actually describe the items (as lately seems to often be the case).

I sell online.  I appreciate it takes a little while to write copy.  But you only need to do it once per item.  I really don't think it is too much to ask for someone to write more than one or two sentences to tell potential customers what they will actually get.

Surely this would lead to more sales, less returns and an overall better experience for customer, PAs and Daz itself?

I can't agree with you more. I don't expect every last widget in a scene to be functional, but at least explain in the description what's rigged and what isn't. And if possible provide pictures. I consider Roguey's European Style Apartment to be the gold standard of product promos. It's descriptive, clear, simple(but not too simple), covers all the important points and includes a ton of pictures. I normally wouldn't buy the first product from a brand new vender, but it was such a good promo I felt confident about buying it.

Since I started learning Hexagon, I've been passing up a lot more stuff in the store. I don't want to buy something I'm going to have to fix or modify, especially if I can try to make my own (and learn something in the process). My freebies may not be store quality, but I try to put enough info into the description and images to let the buyer know what they're getting. (I say buyer because even a freebie requires an investment of time to download and install)
