You should delete the product from Smart Content (see CW manual) before trying to use CW to install the product again.

Questione che immagino sia stata posta mille volte, solo che non la trovo nel forum:

poiché ho praticamente esaurito lo spazio con i vari items, vorrei acquistare un SDD più capiente (diciamo 2 TB) per avere aggio: se usassi un programa tipo EaseUS per clonare il contenuto dell'SSD sul nuovo (compreso il sistema operativo), continuerei a vedere, sul nuovo, i pacchetti DAZ nello Smart Content e Central? E i programmi, sempre DAZ, che richiedono un numero di serie?

Grazie!

I tried to look though the Tread and cannot find the answer.  

I can get trough the Unzip, Analyze and install Content.  However when I get Install smart content is says there is errors.  I was able to get this to work in the past and I seem to remember about chaning a config file somwhere.  Also I have to fix the Database table so it can link properly.

Daz Central setsa  single base path, to simplify the user experienbce. Install Manager, which is what I think you are remembering, iss till available and allows setting of individual paths https://www.daz3d.com/get_install_manager/

Hmmm ... it is not a good idea to use both DIM and Daz Central ... did you change something recently? Is anything else acting funny?

No, if you first install something with DIM and then later also install it with Connect, it may cause problems, even if you have uninstalled it with DIM before installing with Connect.  That's especially true with products that have files in the Poser library, in my experience.

Daz central insists on installing Studio burried deep in the user acccount Documents folder. It also puts the base content library there. That is just nuts when it used to put Studio (and Postgres) into the /Applications/DAZ folder, and the base library was in /User/Shared which made perfect sense.

Is there a way to install Studio and the postgres db in the applications folder, or is this to avoid some oddball Apple protections of the Appliccations folder?

Daz Central (which is like Install manager with a different interface and feweer exposed options) or Daz Connect (installing through DS)? If the former, make sure DS and Install Manager are using the same paths, if the latter make sure you uninstall the Connect version.

Can you try installing via another method? In all honesty I never use Daz Central.

Sure!  I'll try with Install Manager - thanks for your fast reply! 

Hello,

I recently had to do a full uninstall/reinstall of Studio and Central due to an issue in which studio was not launching correctly. Since the reinstall, studio is maxing out at 5.8 of my 8 gigs of GPU memory and subsequently rendering much less quickly. Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing which permits Daz Studio from utilizing the full amount of available memory? My CPU is only running at about 30% so i don't think that is the issue.

It's taking about 75% longer to render at this point, which is really killing my timelines.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

Hello,

I'm getting the error code:

"Script not found in expected directory"

I installed using DAZ Central

Hi, sorry for the delay, I'm having internet issues :(

You will not find it under "script' but under the "utilities" category of the smart content when you are in the "Products" type of the smart content tab. I think you also have to uncheck the "Filter by context" checkbox at the bottom of the smart content tab. Then if you want to go faster, you can also write "manager" in the "enter text to filter by..." line. I never tested the Daz Central installation because the first time I used Daz Central, I managed to lose all my smart connect installed content, and this sounded like a "I'll never use this again". So if you don't find it with the clues I gave to you, I think the best thing is :

- first to install with DIM or manual download, which 100% work, the script you have to launch is then "01 Ultimate Iray Skin Manager", once your figure is selected (otherwise it will tell you to select your figure, so no worry).

- then to report to Daz that there is a Daz Central installation issue for this product.

Let me know if you still have an issue after my indications.

I made a mistake when I called it DAZ Control. I was meaning Daz Central. I found out how to uninstall the program and then reinstall it. But the program is still having issues. For some reason, I am seeing a small camera on the screen with the figure and it is preventing me from being able to do anything like moving the body parts. I will try and click on the arms to move them up or down, but the camera is in the way, and I have no idea how to get rid of the camera.

Apart from @richard's observation (the annoying tendency of a camera to obscure selections beyond it) it is also possible, very easy, to make whole items unselectable by accidentally clicking on the arrow to the immediate right of the eyeball icon in the "Scene" tab tree view.  A little X appears on the arrow, the item can no longer be selected in the viewport.  It took me about three years to discover this (three years of having parts of characters anatomy that I could only select by clicking on the node in the scene tab!)  Talk about an intuitive user interface.

That knowledge base article is about images, not 3D data. How are you installing the content? If you use Daz Connect (the Install pane in Daz Studio) or Daz Central/Daz Install Manager the files should be placed in the correct place, then use File>Export, choose the desired format at the bottom of the dialogue, and set the options required in the dialogue that opens after entering a name for the exprted file.

Couple of my icons are not showing in product list where they normal would, in central sometimes they take awhile to load when scrolling through resources. This along with one file failing to update in metadata has been for a few weeks, i have just gotten used too it.

Other than one or two Daz updates via DazCentral no. Same PC and hardware. It was installed via IM originally and that's what I used for the uninstall. DazCentral doesn't have an uninstall feature that I saw and that was the last install of the product. I did see a Daz error of missing files for a new Gen 8.1 male charater that hadn't shown before. I'm wondering if files are being overwritten or corrupted somehow.

Tried to install the following products with both DAZ Connect and DAZ Central:

Genesis 8 Male Expressions and Genesis 8 Female Expressions

With either installation, no menu icon show up whatsover.  If I try to open either product via DAZ Central, I get the following error message (see attachment).  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chiming in here because it sounds like it could be relevant. 

I run a three monitor setup for reasons unrelated to Daz, and have always used Daz on my main central monitor and never on any of the others.  The last few times I've started DAZ it has opened on one of the other monitors.  I often don't even turn them on when I think I don't need them right now.  I suspect that this is an issue with the latest nvidia driver choosing which monitor to put things on because that's when it started for me.
