Light Dome PRO_R Mastery ... It doesn't seem to work properly

switt1313_7709dc8a65

OK when I say it doesn't work properly what I mean is I'm too dumb, plain and simple... at least that's usually what happened.

Anyway I'm using Studio 4.8 Pro 64 bit

Checking on the DIM and comparing with my product list all of the parts of the Light Dome are installed.

When I try to use the SkyDome prop an error message shows up "Some assets... were missing" etc.

Aparantly it is missing: /data/Dreamlight/LightDomePRO_R/LDP-R Skydome/LDP-R Skydome.dsf

What did I do wrong this time? And more importantly: How do I fix it? :)

Thanks for your help

The 'data' folder needs to be in a mapped DAZ Studio Format folder, which is listed in Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager.   Is the folder you installed the dome into, listed as stated above?

Have you looked to see if the ' /data/Dreamlight/LightDomePRO_R/LDP-R Skydome/LDP-R Skydome.dsf' is actually there where DS is looking?

OK I don't see it in the list... hmm neither do I seem to find  where it was actually installed?

Where is the data/Dreamlight supposed to be (I find a data file under "MyDocuments/DAZ3D/Studio/My Library"  where all the rest of my content seems to be installed but can't find the Dreamlight subfolder anywhere [no wonder it don't work] 

OK I finally found where it was installed (User/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library/General/Dreamlight....) now for the n00b question: Knowing this information how do I set it up that DS finds it. Or should I just manually reinstall it into the data folder?

"User/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library" is the default install location for content when you use DIM.

Add this folder as DS native content directory and as Poser content directory in the preferences, so that DS can see all content installed in there.
