Draw Style Icon

neverstoplearning

I just used the Daz3D Geometry Editor for the first time. Now I want to go back to Texture Shaded mode to see the result of my first attempt, but the Draw Style Menu Icon is no longer there. This state is saved when I exit Daz3d so it is still not there when I restart.

I did a google search for "Draw Style Menu" found a page containing the words: "The main Draw Style menu is available just inside of the viewport in the upper right. Click the icon shown below to see the menu in DAZ Studio 4." This is not what I see.

Another page “DrawStyles” also in the search result has image references that point to a nonexistent image repository, with the message from my browser: “Server not found. Firefox can’t find the server at documentation.daz3d.com.” This image-not-found error occurs VERY frequently on the Daz3d documentation website.

As a result of all this, my entire workflow is at a standstill. Daz3d is currently 100% unavailable to me. I am a paying customer. I know this software is free but I am spending money on content -- well over $300 so far -- and since this is the business model Daz3D has chosen to use, I expect the tool that uses the paid content to work as described. And much of the problem is DOCUMENTATION, or the lack of it, or it is out of date, or described as a "work-in-progress".

There will be no more content purchases from me for quite a while. NONE. If I ever get this to work I could easily see my  purchases double or quadruple, but the way things are, ... not so much.

p.s. It took me a while to find the Geometry Editor, because most of the online documentation, for example “Basic Rigging with the Transfer Utility”, refers to it as the “Polygon Group Editor”. If you rename something, update the documentation. How many developers at Daz3D work on the documentation and the web site?  I would guess very few.

You should be able to get back to Texture Shaded by going to  the menu option:

Windows - Panes  - Draw Style

You can then switch draw styles & perhaps it will make your icon return for future

Your other concerns are better addressed to Daz support as its mostly users just like you on the forums

I think the problem caused by your background color. those icon seems colored as pefect white, then if I set back ground color of view port as white,

it seems happen.

to change back ground color,  from top menu, Window>style>ustomize color. then set color as another one. hope it may work for you.

IMO Actually daz studio douments is not helpful though daz recommend new 3d comer, to learn 3d by daz studio.

(nowdays I really often see many daz Internet advertisement,, when I serch somthing about 3d, then I hope DAZ concentrate documentation as same as

advtisement)

You can also use keyboard shortcuts - hold down ctrl(Win)/cmd(Mac) and press a number key - texture shaded is 9.
