Clothes I purchased from Daz, after fitting them, which works fine, I can't change the materials. Anyone know why? Happens with alot of them. 

"An error occured while opening the file. See log for details." 

LOG - "[WARNING] :: Invalid hierarchy for selected node(s) and "preset_hierarchical_material" type; no root(s) found."

    You are probably using a Hierarchical Material preset - these normally require the figure (e.g. Genesis 9) to be selected in the scene in order to apply the materials to the clothing.

    It sounds like you may have the clothing item selected instead, which seems intuitive but won't work with a Hierarchical Material.

    The items need to be aprented to Genesis 9. You can parent them without losing their fit to Genesis 8, or you can simply load the originals onto Genesis 9, apply the materials, then save a regular materials preset for each part (check for buttons parented to the clothes0. You may also find that there is an full outfit preset, which is hierarchical, and separate presets for each part, which are not and should work on the Geneis 8 conversion directly.

    Because Hierarchical Material Preset from Genesis 9 don't have backward compatibility to Genesis 8.

    Simply change Node Name from Genesis8Female or Genesis8Male to Genesis9 via Edit >Figure > Scene Identification... before loading the Hierarchical Material Preset.
