Lost Parameter Tools and Abilities

I'm not sure how to explain this, much less what the appropriate terminology is, so please bear with my convoluted description.

Ever since I started working with DAZ Studio in 2009, Parameters Tab gave me all the options available for an overarching tool. For instance, General > Transform showed me Translate, Rotate, and Scale, all in a nice column. Better yet, Actor > Full Body gave me every morph available. That was a bit much. Chest gave me all the various breast morph packs I picked up. Pose > Head > Expressions gave me all the expressions packs I picked up for that base figure.

Two days ago, that stopped. Now, I don't get anything under the general tools. General > Transform is blank. I have to go to the individual tools, Translate, Rotate, and Scale. That isn't too bad. But the face and body morphs, and expressions are totally lost. Actor > Chest shows nothing. I have to go to Real People, and that doesn't cover Zev0's morph packs, or Xameva's or anyone else's. They're now found under the individual vendor name and name of the pack. Expressions are the worst. Pose > Head > Expressions is blank. I have no idea how many I've picked up from various vendors over the years. There are too many to remember.

Did that make sense? Not sure it did.

I don't know what I did to cause this. More important though, is how to I restore seeing all the available options under the general tool names such as General, Actor, Full Body, Head, etc.?

I was using Studio 4.9 when this happened. I updated to 4.10 today to start playing with dForce. That didn't solve the problem.

    Can you check the following: With selected Parameter tab, in the upper right corner is a menu symbol. Click on that and check if the following options are checked in the list: "Display separat Items" and "Display Followers". If not, please check them and see if that helps.

    If it doesn't help, can you show a screenshot of your Parameter Tab and its settings?

    There is a box at bottom left, something like Show Sub-components as I recall - that needs to be checked to show the properties in children of the current group, when unchecked you see only the items that are actually in the selected group.

    That was it! I didn't even see that little box until you mentioned it. Thank you very much!
