FLUIDOS Water Plane Help--Can't get anything Working

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I cannot do anything with this product though I bought it, and FLUIDOS before it.

I probably just don't know what I'm doing, but I don't see any mesh for the water in the scene even though I loaded a preset, and when I render it seems like nothing is there. Also, there is only stuff in the materials folder and the water planes folder (though I see no water plane load? I don't see the blue outline around a water mesh like in the sample videos or pictures) and all the other folders are empty. Why are they there?

I tried watching a video for another product, which shows options under "parameters" but when I sift through them all, there are no options for anything except one piece, and the only option is for particles. :(

Please, can anyone help?

    I don't have the product, looks like maybe you have to add in the objects which could be anything.

    Maybe something here can help, there are a couple of pdf files to download.

    Check this:

    1. Did you run the simulation? Select one of the Fluidos Domains inside the Level groups, then go to menu Edit - Run Fluid Simulation. Then, enable "Start from preset" and click Accept.

    2. Did you enable the meshers after the simulation? Select the meshers in the Level group of the Domain you chose in step 1. Then click in Enable button property. You should see the mesh now.

    The manual has more details, but if you have more doubts, let me know, please.

    There is no "Edit --> Run Fluid Simulation" ..... I watched one of your tutorials and all the options you see I do not. I am selecting something called "Fluidos Domain Level 1" and there is no option that says to run it. Not in the parameters, not in the Edit menu. Also there is no blue outline or anything in the scene when I select "domain" in my scene tab (nothing in the 3d viewport) nothing happens. I'm not shown selecting anything because there is no geometry.

    Have you already installed the FLUIDOS for DAZ Studio plugin?, if so, did you activate the plugin using your Serial Number?

    Well, I looked in my installed plugins and FLUIDOS isn't even listed.  had to re-install it >_> Now I do see the "Run Fluid Simulation" option. Don't know how it disappeared when I've used it before....
