Installation
- In Install Manager, if you filter using sku::109051, you should see a package labeled Public Build Install Modules
- When installed, this package causes an Install Modules > Public Build... action to appear in the Settings (cog - top right) menu of Install Manager
- Clicking the action will cause a Public Builds Install Sets dialog to appear
- Much like the Default Install Set, this dialog provides options for a specific subset of packages to download/install - in a "playlist" like manner
- There are Install Sets for Daz Studio 2025 (6.x) Public Build, as well as Daz Studio 4.x Public Build
- Clicking the action will cause a Public Builds Install Sets dialog to appear
- When installed, this package causes an Install Modules > Public Build... action to appear in the Settings (cog - top right) menu of Install Manager
