No Geometry Sub-Menu under Edit - Figure

edited October 2023 in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

The laptop I had been using for Daz studio croaked, so I'm temporarily back on the ancient desktop.  Anyways, I went to add a smoothing modifier to an object, but there was no option for it!  Can anyone help me figure out why there's no Geometry option if I go under Edit - Figure?  And ideally, help me add it?

    It isn't a "tab" - it's a sub-menu.

    You need to enter your Daz Studio serial number to enable the Pro features, I think.

    My apologies for the incorrect terminology.  Corrected.  I tried inputting my serial number, and that didn't change anything.  Anyone got other suggestions?

    Are you using a Daz Studio Pro Edition or not ?

    It's possible this old computer doesn't have pro edition installed.

     

    Edit: I checked, I do have pro edition installed.

    What version of Daz Studio do you have on that ancient desktop?

  • CowrieCowrie Posts: 146

    I updated it to 4.21

    Try Window -> Workspace -> Update and Merge Menus.

    You will lose any custom actions I think...

    Custom actions should be preserved, unless they are very old and the command has not been used for a very long time.

    Since you updated to 4.21, did you also update your graphics driver to at least the minimum required version for whichever DS 4.21 version you installed? Hopefully the graphics card in that computer is not too old for the required driver version for 4.21.

    I didn't make any changes to the graphics driver.  I know for a fact that as-is, this computer can't support dforce simulation, but since a friend is building me a new computer with a great graphics card (3080 ti), at worst I have to wait a few weeks for my new computer.

    I should note that the smoothing modifier on clothing items that start out with one upon being loaded works fine.  There's just no option available to add smoothing modifiers to things.

    TimberWolf said "Try Window -> Workspace -> Update and Merge Menus.". Did you do that? After a DS version update, Daz usually recommends doing that, and it usually resolves menu issues.

    That did the trick, thanks!

    Great to hear it is straightened out. Now you know the trick for after the next update.
