How to delete old scenes/poses/props with a Mac?

Everything I Google talks about a right mouse click.

While I'm at it, once I've got, say, the "Little Black Dress" on V4, how do I change it to the linen option? And where can I find the hem length options?

Thanks

    First do you mean remove from the scene, or remove from your disk (things you have saved yourself)?

    I don't think I have that item but if there are morphs they are usually found under the parameters tab under Morpths. Select the item in the scene of in the scene list, then go to the parameters tab. Some items (older ones) require that you select the "hip", not the object (use the little disclosure triangle to the left of the object in the object list to reveal the hip node.

    Hope this helps.

    I mean things I've saved myself.

    In Scene, I've got "Little Black Dress" and under it "Little Black Dress_Rig". No matter which one I select, there are no morphs showing in Parameters.

    When I first got the product and was playing around with it, I stumbled across the "Mini" and "Midi" options, but I can't find them now that I'm looking for them. And I was never able to figure out how to select the various color and style options.

    It really depnds on where you placed "My Library" on your hard disk, but the files are (if you see then in scenes in My Library/Scenes.

    When you save a file save it to a place you know (like a folder in your Documents folder so you know where they are,

    That is indeed the product. In the Content Library I find "Dynamic Clothing" then "Little Black Dress", then "Materials". I'm not finding a Dynamic Clothing Controller, which means I'm probably looking right at it.

    Dynamic Clothing is a Tab, you might need to look for it among tab so it becomes active and visible.

    I found the Dynamic Clothing tab, thanks.

    Still looking for the dress length options. Any ideas?

    With the root part of the dress selected (not the "..._Rig" part or anything under that), look right at the bottom of the Garment subtab in the Dynamics tab. If the "Styles" section isn't blank, then there are optional shapes for that dynamic cloth. Sometimes there will be different texture options for each shape option, sometimes there won't, it depends on how it's been built.

    Note that you must have the root part of the dynamic cloth selected, or the Dynamic tab won't work properly and will usually toss an error at you.

    Thank you!

    I would have executed my computer with a big rock by now if it wasn't for you guys.

    Don't feel too bad about it, this really is a tricky bit to wrap your head around, and some of the things you need to do to get a good result don't make immediate sense.

    I've apparently made a huge mess of things while installing some third party poses, . The Dynamic Clothing tab no longer pops up when I select it from the main menu. When I select the garment, it goes on crazily, with no options that I can find to drape. It will no longer allow me to select any hemline, neckline or texture options, either. Nothing happens when I double click. Things that are parented do crazy things as well.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled DAZ3D and every product.

    I think the directories are messed up. The Documents/DAZ3D/Studio3/Content/Runtime/Libraries/Poses path doesn't even seem to be in the hard drive any longer. It's now Documents/DAZ3D/Studio/My Library/Data

    I've been up all night trying to figure it out. Am I looking at a reinstall of 10.7.5 Lion?

    But the question is how did you install the third party stuff?

    Unzipped it and dragged the Runtime folder to Content, or that was the intent. An inadvertent mouse click, and now both those folders seem to be gone.

    What are you trying to double-click on? The Optitex dynamics are unusual in that they can't be selected by clicking in the Viewport — you must select the bits you want from the Scene tab. Clicking on a bit of dynamic cloth in the Viewport selects the part of the figure under the cloth, as if it isn't there.

    About your wandering Runtime folder, I've had that happen to me now and then when my mouse-button-pressing finger slipped. The folders aren't gone, they're just moved to a place that wasn't where you wanted to put them. Do a search on "Runtime" and see what turns up (and where!). Note that a slight hesitation while moving the dragging mouse over the folder view can snap open a folder showing a bunch of new subfolders right where you were about to drop something. If that happened to you, your lost runtime might be inside one of those folders.

    Wait, you're on a Mac, aren't you? I think thats's a bit better behaved when it comes to mouse dragging.
