Daz Studio crashing when parenting props

Peter Wade

Is anyone else having problems with version 4.6.3.50 crashing when you change the parent of a prop?

I started having problems creating groups of parented props so I could move them together. It happens if I use drag and drop in the scene tab or if I use the change parent menu option. It also happens if I try parenting props onto other props or props onto a Null.

In one test I put 4 props onto another one but crashed on the fifth. Just to see if there was anything wrong with the props I tried again using primitives, and this time it crashed the first time I tried dragging a cube onto another cube.

Is this some oddity of my installation or is anyone else getting this?

I am using the 64 bit version of 4.6.3.50, and I gave it a good workout, parenting several groups, then parenting these groups together.

I did this in the Scene pan, but tried it with Change Parent from the right click menu as well, all worked as expected, sorry I can't be of more help.

Not sure if it is similar or even relevant, but in an earlier version of DS 4.* I had an issue where if I grouped stuff together and parented to a Null it would crash. It only seemed to do so if the one of the items to be included in the grouping was the last one in the scene list. If I added something additional inot the scene before doing the 'parent to Null' it would not crash.

It seems to be completely unpredictable. I just reloaded my ungrouped scene and got everything except the default camera grouped onto one prop with no problems this time. I think I'll stick with saving often and seeing how things go.

I'm not sure if I should report this in the bug tracker or not since it looks like I'm the only one having this problem.
