Hi all!

Sam from the dev team was nice enough to walk me through how to re-install older versions of the DazToBlender bridge. This worked great for me to revert to a previous version and avoid some of the bugs I was excpereincing with 2.3.

Here are the steps written out:

Manual Re-Install of DazToBlender Older Versions

Download older version of DazToBlender from:  github.com/daz3d/DazToBlender/releases 

SCROLL DOWN> NEXT> Locate the previous version you wish to install. Download “Source Code” Zip file.

BLENDER SIDE MANUAL INSTALL

UNZIP Source Code folder INSIDE FOLDER> Blender> appdata_common> Blender Foundation> Blender> BLENDER_VERSION> scripts> addons> DTB

COPY DTB FOLDER 

NAVIGATE/GO TO:

%appdata% in windows browser

AppData> Roaming> BlenderFoundation> Blender> select the version of Blender you are using. 

“version”> scripts> addons> DTB

DELETE existing DTB folder and paste in DTB folder from the downloaded “Source Code” folder.

BLENDER> ADDONS> check to see if it is available to install, trouble shoot by “Remove” and then repaste the DTB into the above mentioned folder. 

DAZ SIDE FRESH INSTALL (easier than replacing the script) 

GO BACK TO : “Source Code” folder.

Daz Studio> appdir_common> scripts> support> DAZ> Select all .dsa files (there will be 3 or 4 depending on version)

GO TO WHERE YOU KEEP YOUR DAZ LIBRARY “My DAZ 3D Library” > Scripts> Paste in ,dsa files, accept “Replace the files in the destination”

OPEN DAZ STUDIO > Content Library> My DAZ 3D Library> Scripts> Daz To Blender> Right Click> Create Custom Action> Rename as desired (I added the version #)> Accept> OK> it will now appear under scripts tab at top of the window.

Hope this is helpful to someone out there. :)
