Might want to add 'air hockey' to that possibility. See what I found by just asking the store for 'hockey'. Unfortunately is seems it is mostly Michael 4 era.

And Renderosity wasn't much better.

If it was ice hockey, may I say pro, scratch, or grass might be a great idea for a PA to look into, along with a stadium that has an ice floor that can convert to a basketball court, or a rock-n-roll/concert performance venue... And a nice lakeside or small ice park for local teams. Of course the grass courts that are multiuse centers of community sports. Things like Rugby or Soccer/Football, or American Football, or whatever could use that shape of field.

The link to 114562 just opened my product library. It didn't select the specific product. I don't know why. Maybe because I am on my phone, and lots of Daz web pages don't work on mobile. We are probably getting into too much discussion for the reporting thread.

Do you own that particular product?

My Dim has been a little strange the last week or so. For some reason 7 or 8 files pertaining to G2 and G3 and CF and Poser have shown up at the top of the list of things to install. New stuff showed up there too. And Daz Studio 6, but only the program installer. I had to search for Premier then the plugins showed up so I could install them. So if you're not seeing them, maybe you need to search for them.

The general release and the beta (Public Build) are separate, they do not share settings.

Okay, 6 installed and put the main window back in.
when the alpha were installed they took the content directories from 4. 
how do I make 6 copy the content directories
---
I have daz stuff over 3 drives and some of the stuff is duplicated over a couple drives as backup.
I'm guessing that somewhere there's a file I can copy from the win4 to the new win6 so it will know where the directories are?
If so, what and where is it? 
And no, I don't want it to search 16 tb of folders to gather content.
---
Do I have to reintalls all plugins also? 

The search bar in the Forums section still redirects to the Shop section when on my phone or tablet. And still happening regardless of browser.

When I try to use the forums to do a search, I inly see the Daz search Search windows, so it searchs the store instead of the forums.  What am I doing wrong?

No idea where to ask this, but can someone explain why so many threads show 1 or 2 views, when there are sometimes hundreds of comments? Are the forums broken? Is this normal. Yet others show thousands of views, so obviously some do appear to work. 

There are in fact threads on ths, if search worked, and ideally this thread should not have off-topic posts since it is monitored for sales issues. But yes, the view count used to work but has been broken for quite some time now.

The forum is broken.

1. Install DAZ 6
2. Fix UI and remove AI component
3. Open .duf file that previously rendered just fine in 4.x and 6-beta
4. Hit render without making any changes
5. Crash immediately.
6. Repeat steps 3-5.
7. Post here with logs and crash dumps. Can't post the .duf here; it violates forum rules.

I noticed that my Hardware options changed on my first render attempt in 6. I also used BETA, but 6 loses all your settings. (Which is what I think you mean by "Fix UI"?) In Render Settings > Hardware tab, I had to uncheck my CPU in Photoreal and Interactive modes and uncheck Allow CPU Fallback.

What was the UI fix? One can't just remove the AI component. It would be better to disable it in About Installed Plugins.What did the .duf scene file contain, so I can try and recreate.

I actually have one of those I hide my phone in

but the one wanted by jmucchiello is a real book with the actual pages hollowed out, probably with a Stanley knife in the shape of the thing it's hiding

Exactly, though I'd call it Exacto, which as an American, I am "unaware" is brand name like Kleenex (facial tissue) and Scotch (transparent tape). I noticed in the Google search aboce there are entire YouTube videos about hollowing out a book. And I hadn't realized how popular it was to hollow out bibles.

Elor said:

Do you know about this one?

https://www.daz3d.com/set-of-liqueur

No, but it isn't what I want either. Google (and switch to images tab): secret object inside a hollowed out book

I want to see cut up interior pages looking like a cubby hole. Apparently a lot of Etsy folks craft these kinds of things based on the search result.

DS6 Toolbars?

My workflow for the last several years of almost daily use relies on window layout and multiple toolbar rows. I haven't tested the beta DS interim versions because I have actual work that needs to get done. Not only can't I have multiple toolbar rows now, but after I detach a toolbar, it never seems to want to redock. Anywhere. So trying to figure this out, I now have a ton of little floating toolbars that won't dock anywhere and have to float outside the window. If I fullscreen the window, the toolbars stay where they are and inevitably end up covering something important.

EDIT: It took a few minutes of targeted search, but I found that the bug is that all side panes of the main window need to be collapsed before docking a toolbar will work. And I seem to be able to get multiple rows again. Several online search engines said that Daz had purposely removed the ability.

Also, I don't see where large scenes load any faster than in 4.24. One particular scene I'm working with has tons of textures. If I try to do anything before it's "ready" the screen just goes white and I have to wait just as long as I would have previously.

EDIT: This still applies. Loads aren't any faster, or if they are, they're a second or two off a 20-second load. Certainly not enough to brag about.

Yes, starting from a certain version of DS 4.23 (IIRC...), adding / deleting cameras takes more time than previous 4.x versions. I ever sent a support ticket to ask the same question but got no solid response ~~

Interesting.  Would you be willing to share what they said? 

Here's the screenshot of the ticket but it's not allowed to show the responses from the support team in this forum ~~

In general, they said they couldn't reproduce the issue with the versions they had... and finally they got no response from the development team for this issue... So, I could only let it go ~~ 

I risked it and it worked, but I don't know if I'd trust me as some rando forum member.

I’ve gone ahead and installed it now, and I’ve also adjusted the directories. However, there is still something located in `C:\dokuemte` that I don't want there—and don't recognize. As described in the forum, I was able to copy over the `user_styles` and `user_layouts` files and largely restore my screen layout. So far, no serious issues have arisen, aside from the fact that the scripts, bookmarks, and similar items are no longer present in DS6. Although all the plugins appear "green" in the list, none of them are actually present or functional. The same applies to the toolbar at the top. Furthermore—despite having imported the saved layouts—one still has to manually set the screen background to white. In principle, using the software for actual work is not yet advisable.
But will there be content that only works in DS6? Then i would need a new content-folder

 What is in `C:\dokuemte`?

they are using an non english version of windows I imagine it's just documents C:\Documents and Settings

Even then, that would be the Windows XP path - I think it was WIndows 7 that switched to /Users/Documents/ - and XP is not supported. But I think the question was what files/folders were being placed there?
