Can't Find Content in DAZ Studio

I can't find everything I bought. I'm missing morphs, expressions, all sorts of things. I don't know where to look for them. I bought a tutorial to help me arrange my content, but I can't find that, either.

How are installing you content?
Install Manager.
Often moprhs and expressions don't add anything that appears in the content panes - instead they add new sliders which appear on the figure when it is loaded (under Actor for shaping, Pose Controls for expressions).
OK, thanks.
OK, I can't find Actors, but I went into Content Library and found Poses>Expressions>Full Face; Lower Face; Upper Face. But when I click on any of these, nothing pops up.
I also can't get the figure to highlight.
Actor will be a group in the parameters pane, with the figure selected. So will Pose Controls.
In the Viewport? Can you select using the Scene pane?
I can't get it to select in the Viewport or using the Scene pane.
But it is loaded, and has an entry in the Scene pane? Which tool are you using (what is checked in the Tools menu)?
Yes, it's loaded and has an entry in the Scene pane. I'm using Surface Selection.
I've also tried Node Selection and Universal.
I can't think of any reason it would be impossible to select teh item in the Scene pane - you are clicking on its entry, when it is text on the background colour, and it isn't getting the highlight colour as a background afterwards?
I thiink maybe I just got it. I didn't have Genesis 3 Male selected under Editor. Thanks!
I still have trouble with items not showing up on the figure, though. I'll highlight the hair or whatever, but when I click on a hair colour, it doesn't show up on the figure.
Could you post a screen shot, with the camera zoomed to avoid any problems with nudity.
Sorry--can't figure out how to post a screen shot. I know to push PrtScn, open Paint, and press Ctrl + V, and that that copies the screen into the Paint app, but how do I get it to the Forum?
In Windows 7+ you can also use the Snipping Tool, then click the disc icon to save the fiel and upload it here.
How's this?
It looks as if the clothing items are not fitted to the figure. Go to your scene tab and select the clothing item, then look in the parameters tab to see if it is fitted.
looking at your image I would also recommend not using the categories tab for finding content. I go to the DAZ studio formats section above thhat and go directly to the items i want to load. that way you know exactly where things are and what you need to find. You can see in the image I posted where I go to find my content directly

OK, I went to the Parameters tab, but I don't see anything that tells me if it's fitted.
Also, I usually can't get any clothing to load. And if I do, the textures won't load.
Is there any way to make your image bigger? I can't see anything on it.
Click the attachment to view it full size in another tab/window (depending on browser settings).
I can't find the DAZ Studio formats section . . .
In the Content Library pane it should be the very first entry in the folder list - it's showing at the top-left of your screen shot above.

OK, please post a screen shot showing the Content Library pane with the files you are trying to load and the folder theya re in visible, and the Scene pane showing what is currently selected visible.
OK, here it is.
Your screenshot doesn't show the Scene pane but given what is displayed in the Shaping tab I'd say that G8F is selected, not the clothes you want to apply the materials to.
Yeah, that's what I did. But I tried selecting the clothes in the Shaping tab, and still nothing.
You need to select the clothes, which are probably parented to Genesis 8 female - click the sideways white triangle next to teh figure name in the Scene pane to see the children. You can also right-click on the clothes in the Viewport and should then get an option to selectt hem in the pop-up menu.
