Iray Shader won't apply

I got this old tric model in CR2 format and I am wondering what circumstances make it so I cannot apply the Iray shader to some parts. Most parts are ok and will accept a new shader. It obvously loads with the DS defualt shader but no matter what I do I can't seem to apply any new shaders. If I convert the firgure into a prop then I can. Since I have never come across this before I am interested to learn the why.

    Someone else had an issue like this, possibly with one of the old Dystopia blocks. If it's a freebie do you have a link? Can you select the problem surfaces with the Geometry Editor tool?

    It is an old model, the nice chap, Catamaran, who made it died a while ago but I found a link https://poserdazfreebies.m.miraheze.org/wiki/Black_Widow_MKIII_Princess and yes I tried using the Goe tool and it won't select anything at all, not until I convert it to a prop. If I convert to Weight mapping all the morphs disappear.

    Looks as if it's made up of separate parts - is it loading as a single figure or a set of parented props? If it's props make sure that you have both the prop and its surfaces selected.

    Bones and yeah I selected all, Expand from selected and select all and apply Iray shader, most apply but a few won't. I ddi manage to apply omnisurface shader and then Iray no go, even tried to apply the DS Default 3dl shader and that won't apply after omni shader. Very strange behaviour and I thought I would ask. It hasn't stopped me as I pose the figure and then convert to Prop and finish off applying Iray.

    Rims, Rims2, Tyreside, Tyreside2 - none of which show in the Tool Settings pane with the Geometry Editor active. DS is now giving me a busy cursor after trying to select one surface in the Tool Settings pane, which is not encouraging.

    yep that is what I was getting too. But DS did recover for me after a bit.

    I tried selecting using the Goe tool on another of his bikes and the same thing happens, only when I convert to a prop can I select anything. I realize these are old Poser files but it still baffles me to the why.
