Assuming this si Daz Studuo there's a fair chance that the Viewport pane has been closed (or possibly moved off the screen), though without a screen shot I can't be certain. Window>Panes(Tabs)>Viewport should reopen it, you can then drag it by the top bar to the top of the central well and when you see a line of highlight colour across the top release the mouse - that should dock it again. You could also use Window>Workspace>Select Layout to reset the whole UI.

Daz Central, Texture Atlas, Content Creator Toolkit (CCT), Texture Convertor 2 and TC2 plugins are not in DIM.

DazCentral isn't (or shouldn't be) because they can't run simultaneously.

Texture Atlas and CCT are included in the Daz Studio install, they only need serial numbers.

TC2 doesn't appear in DIM.

Anyone know how to get these to work emailed support many times with no reponce.  The issue on both is The email and/or password you entered did not match our records.
Please double-check and try again. One on the main reasons i use daz is for the eazy insall. I recenty switched computers and have to reinsall 1000s of products by hand as therer is no other way to connect to daz central or insall manager...I wounder if i can get a refund on my 1000 plus products ? 

Daz Central shouldn't work for betas - it is a simplified/new user system, after all.

Daz Central, Texture Atlas, Content Creator Toolkit (CCT), FBX plug-in (*), Texture Convertor 2 and TC2 plugins are not in DIM.

What exactly is happening? Daz Central is a simplified version of Install Manager - swuitching to that is unlikely to help and may be possitively unhelpfull.

Experiencing the "Shut down Bug" Moves from active App to Back ground and has to be killed in the Task Manager manually... Yes I've waited, infact went downtown grabbed some grub, got back and it was still in the task manager... Yes I'm lazy I want a one clk kill...LOL

As to filiment trying to figure out the Glowing white textures almost like mega glossy Looks great in Iray...

I had the same issue.  I had to reinstall Daz from the Daz Central program, and it solved that problem.  However, I now can't get the dang tonemapper. environment, or filament draw nodes to work. 

If both are Windows machines running the same PostgreSQL then you can, with DS, DIM, and other Daz applications closed, copy the ContentCluster to the equivalent location on the new machine - that, plus the content directories, will give you all of your content organisation. By default the database is, for Windows, in:

%AppData%/daz 3d/cms/contentcluster/

DIM/Daz Central are less tolerant as they need to record exactly where the fiels went, so that they can be uninstalled. If you still have the zips just copy the DIM folders across (the manifests folder is the one that shows what was installed), start DIM, set its paths (if the defaults are not correct), select everything in the Installed tab and right-click, then choose the option to reinstall all selected using the current paths. Daz Studio, its plug-ins, and some scripts/sahders will need to be reinstalled anyway.

My smart content and content seems to have disappeared, I reinstalled many with dim but the files mostly are still not there. I downloaded and installed Daz Central, and when i install or open a product I get this message LaunchStudioProduc Could not find C:/Program Files/DAZ3D/Studio4 resources/Lesson Strips/common/Interactive. What does that mean and why aren't my recently installed files showing up.. Hope someone can help me. 

So now I can't see anything in smart content.

Here is what happened:

Started daz central, it said there is an update available for Daz Studio, so I clicked on update.

But instead of updating daz studio it uninstalled it from my computer. And after that there wasn't even an option to install it again. Plus it kept showing 4.12 as the latest version.

I started install manager and was able to re-install 4.14 using that. But now I get the database error "A valid PostgreSQL CMS connection could not be established"

Daz Central has become the most hated peice of software on my PC. I can log into the website (sometimes when i am not getting an error message saying that Daz3d.com is an unsafe website) and the very same credintials will not work on Daz Central. Everytime i visit Daz3d it tells me to get started and download this PoS software that really has no business whatsover being a part of our pipeline. 
Also, why doesn't the genesis 8 pose for unreal engine show up when you go to rig the skeleton. I even have all the proper things checked in the pose settings.

To the OP, you might want to change the title of your post to "Daz install still sucks "FOR ME" after 10 years" since 1000s of other users don't have any issues.

FYI I never use smart content or Daz central and know where all my files are being installed so I can find them.

Since downloading Daz Central I see where I can download and use photoshop bridge. I am leery of new software and just curious as to what Bridge is and if anyone use it now and have you any words of sage that can enlighten me. Is it safe? What does it do? 

I'm on a Mac. I use the DIM installer for all the content. It's the best way as I hear Daz Central is buggy.

Weird problem.

Although I have my content installed via DIM, the Smart Content "Available" tab still shows several hundred products uninstalled.  So I installed them anyway, but have a handful which are greyed out and have a weird "folder with a U" icon on them.  The menu for them does not offer "Install" or "Update", and nothing I do can change their status.  However, I can confirm that the actual products are there.

Screenshot attached.

Just to be clear:

1. Yes, DIM shows these products as installed, and they do seem to work (eg. the morphs are there).  I check and the files are also there.  DAZ Central confirms them as owned.
2. It's a tiny percentage of files (I have over 7000 products)
3. Nothing I do seems to fix this

I would appreciate it if anyone has any thoughts, as this kinda bugs me.  ????

I have been using Daz on my macbook pro for a while now... got my imac in today and wanted to download everything fresh with Daz Central.  Daz Central is having other ideas.  It wouldnt download Daz... then would crash before it even opened.  DazCentral keeps going non-responsive.... and my latest evil is that its continually loading my profile.... until it goes non-responsive.  I tried deleting everying restarting and reinstalling... nothing seems to be working.

Yup.  Trying to download DIM or Central to reload on a new hard drive.  Can't login on either one but can login on the website.  Have a ticket in with Daz right now but the email back to me stated it could take between 4 and 6 WEEKS to get an answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WTF....

Hi.

For storage space reasons I have the following setup:

Blender (2.8.9 LTS) is on my G drive
Daz Central (4.14) is on my C drive
Data is usually on my H drive.  For daz the cache is default in C, the temp folder is on H

I have windows 10.

I am new to Daz, the bridge to blender got me interested.  To see how it worked I used the gensis 8 model and the bridge (scripts -> bridges ...) which said it had exported the model.  In blender I used this: https://prnt.sc/vxtccj ; (which differs from the tutorial).  Just clicking as per the tutorial gives https://prnt.sc/vxtdgl ;

I am not sure where the exported model is or how to tell blender where to look (or where blender is actually looking).

Any help much appreciated.  Thank you.

UPDATE:

I tried this with blender 2.83.2 and it worked  (blender found the needed files).  I replaced 2.8.9 and that worked.

I made it work!
On my laptop:
I was not logged in on OneDrive, so I logged in. And suddenly LAMH worked on my laptop! With no error messages and no crash!
But now Daz Central crashed. A reinstall of central fixed it.
On my workstation:
I waited for the OneDrive to update.
Without configuring anything on my workstation, LAMH worked with no error messages.
Daz Central and DIM also works.
I really do not know why it works on my workstation. Neither Daz Central or DIM has any visible search/loading paths to my OneDrive on my workstation. And neither Daz Central or DIM attempted to install LAMH on the OneDrive.
It's a mystery to me.
But I am happy it works.
Thank you for your help Fixmypcmike.

I have tried to install Daz Studio and LAMH on my laptop:
I used Daz Central to install Daz Studio and LAMH. Without LAMH: No crash. With LAMH: Daz Studio crashes when "Creating Main Window" loading text occurs.
Reinstalling LAMH did not help. Either did reinstalling Daz Studio.
Installing Daz Central, Daz Studio and LAMH created thise folders:

C:\Users\[UserName]\OneDrive\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\lookatmyhairAM  (Contains the "lookatmyhair.cfg")
C:\Users\[UserName]\OneDrive\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Daz Connect Library\data\cloud\meta
C:\Users\[UserName]\OneDrive\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\Render Library
C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents\Daz 3D  (empty)

C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZCentral1
C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4

C:\Users\Public\Documents\DAZ 3D (Contains an "Install Manager" folder)
C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library (A content folder)
Doing the same on my workstation makes this:
C:\Daz 3D\Applications\64-bit\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4
C:\Daz 3D\Applications\64-bit\DAZ 3D\PostgreSQL CMS
C:\Daz 3D\Applications\Data\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4 Temp (Contain three folderes: "Face Transfer", "RenderAlbumTmp" and "textureConvert")
C:\Daz 3D\Applications\Data\DAZ 3D\InstallManager
C:\Daz 3D\Applications\Data\DAZ 3D\My DAZ 3D Library

C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D\DazCentral1

Why does Daz Studio install itself in a "C:\Daz 3D" folder instead of "C:\Program Files\DAZ 3D"?
And why does the LAMH error message occur? And why does it crash on my laptop?
