You are in Smart Content.  Smart Content is not smart.  It is data base and meta data driven and will gleefully show content that may not be installed properly.  Open the Content Library pane and under DAZ Studio Formats look for G3.  If you can't find it in Content Library pane it isn't installed right.

No still won't work :( (pic)

I know this may sound simplistic but try restarting Studio. If something happened to the duf whilst Studio was opened the Library does not update and will still show it as an available file. If it is still there after the restart have a look in the Folder on your computer that is being referenced in the error message and check the duf is correct. Try reinstalling the Starter Essentials as this should reset the duf if needed.

Try right clicking the figure in the Content Pane and selecting merge into scene. I've had a similar issue for months with built in resources and that's been my work around.

This seemed to work :) strange why this would happen as the file is in where it claims it isn't. Thx all.
