Missing features/settings?

Hello all,
I just upgraded to a new laptop and have run into several issues with this installation of DS 4.10. I'm sure there's something I'm overlooking but haven't yet been able to find it.
The biggest problem is that now, when I export something as an OBJ file, it wants to export everything in the scene even though I have:
1) unparented the item, and
2) hidden all other items but the item I am exporting by clicking the visibility icon.
This worked on my old laptop with the same version (4.10 pro) of DS.
Another issue which is a little annoying, but when I render a scene with "Draw Ground" turned on, I used to be able to select the ground color under "Environment" in the "Render Settings" tab. Now I see no option for that.
Any hints here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

In the dialog that appears after you specify the name and location of the OBJ file, make sure the 'Ignore Invisible Nodes' checkbox is checked. It works as expected for me in DS 4.10 with that option checked.
Thanks, I just found this in another thread and was on my way in here to update. I appreciate it!
