Universal Weapons Prop and Poses Question

I bought this set and have a question about using it. I loaded the weapon prop, but I can't figure out how to get the weapon or the blade to show up in my render. I selected the "blade on" option in the utilities tab, I selected a blade color, but when I render the weapon and blade are invisible. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to get the blade to show up?

    Do you have the blade as a separate purchase (https://www.daz3d.com/laser-swords-and-poses-2-for-genesis-3-and-8/).  The product itself is sort of a universal solution; you parent soming to the priimitive and pose.  There are additional poses for the laser sword.

    No, I thought the one I have could be used by itself, without having to purchase the previous set? Am in incorrect in thinking that?

    Yes, that is incorrect.... There are added poses for the laser sword and staff that I mentioned but the product is not included.  There is an invisble prop included for parenting what you want the character to hold but that is it.

    Are you sure about that? Because the product page sure as hell makes it seem like it includes a useable weapon and blade.

    The weapons in the set are Laser Sword 3 and Laser Staff 2. Each has the laser blades attached and has a pose control for extending the blades. There is a material preset for each one plus 7 material presets for the blades to make them glow. Each blade material preset is color-coded in the scene so you will know what color it will emit. There are 6 bloom settings, and a bloom off included to give the blades that sci-fi glow. Additional presets included can be used to make the laser blades visible or invisible and to flip the weapon in hand. Presets for loading each will automatically parent them to the Universal Weapons Prop if it is selected in the scene. The laser blades are not visible in a dForce simulation.
