I am trying to make a clean re-install of Daz 3D . Over the years I have ended up wit 3 Daz content folders. To are labeled Daz 3D and one is labeled My Daz 3D Library. Should I delete these folders and start all over again?

Thanks

Roger

    Assuming you mean DAZ Studio, which version? Uninstalling and reinstalling won't affect settings anyway - you can change those within the application. If you want to merge the content, which operating system are you using?

    My operating system is Window 7 Home premium service pack 1

    Thanks

    OK, if you go to Edit>Preferences>Content Library tab, then click the Content Directory Manage button, you will get a dialogue box. Expand the entry for Current, then the three sub-branches (DAZ Studio Formats, Poser Formats and Other Import Formats) you will be able to see which folders are listed - are all three of the folders you have in use? Do they all contain content you want access to?

    It looks like every thing is there.

    I started this process because nothing was showing in the Smart content window. It still is empty.

    Do you content directories have \Runtime\Support folders in them (not in a sub folder)? Is the Content Management Service running? If it is you should have folders, even if they are empty, in the Content Library pane under Categories.

    Well Richard I think I have it sorted now. I re-imported files through content data base management and I suddelly have content again.

    Thanks.

    Good, that would have been the next thing I would have suggested once I knew the CMS was running.
