Question about HDR Pro-Set Yosemite Pack 1

When I click on one of the Yosemite thumbnails, the set appears, but the whole floor of the set is grey, so that I can't tell what feature of the environment is where. Is there some way to "turn on" the floor images so that I can know what I'm doing? I'm working in D/S 4.6.

    Opps re-read.. The ground does appear grey. What i did was make it a bit more transparent.

    I turn the DT-GroundPlane invisible on the Scene Tab (toggle the EYE icon), then you can position the characters and spin the DT-DoubleDome to your liking.

    Before rendering, make the DT-GroundPlane visible and make sure the models just touch the DT-GroundPlane if they are supposed to be on the ground for the best shadow effect. I use the perspective camera and spin the view so you're looking under the DT-GroundPlane and move the model's Y Trans parameter until I barely see it poking though.

    I hadn't thought of that.. though i had to have the ground plane so i could see it, but Mind if i paraphrase that and add it to the readme? (getting a lot of questions on this and that might help others)

    Of course Jen. Please use my comment in any manner as you see fit!

    Speaking of readme files.... I've only recently started using D/S - I've been a Poser user for years - and I'm having a heck of a time finding the readme files when the merchandise is installed by install manager. The freebies I install manually - no problem, I've found their readmes. But where do the other readmes go?

    Click on the letter i in a circle in DIM to go to the readme page.

    Ah! Thank you, Fixmypcmike. :)

    Okay, I tried looking for some of the readmes by clicking on the little circled "I", and it worked for some, but for a few - including the HDR Yosemite set #2 - and it came up with "page not found". For some reason the HDR Yosemite set #1 didn't even show up on my list, even though I own it and it's installed.

    Ah... the only version that I can see is the Carrera version, which I didn't install. Hmmmm....
