Presets not Available ??

Following this tute to learn how primitives etc can be used as light sources,...

I get to here,..

Next, add a Plane Primitive to your scene; Create -> New Primitive -> Plane (Size: 1 m x Division: 1). Have it selected in the Scene Tab, then head over to the Surfaces Tab, and make sure you’re in the Editor Sub Tab.  Select the Surface of the Plane Primitive. Now, select the Presets Sub Tab in the Surface Editor. Choose Shaders -> Iray -> Emissive and double click on the emissive icon:

And, nothing, nada, zip, nothing at all showing in the Presets Sub Tab.

Any ideas on how I get the basic shaders to show up in Studio 4.9 ?

Oh/And - freshly installed Win7 system, Studio, support stuff, and my content libraries are the only things installed.

did you install the Default Lights and Shaders package

Did you install Default Lights and Shaders? Is the Content Management System working - do you have files in the Smart Content pane, and under Products and Categories in the Content Library pane? The presets tabs require the CMS.

Default Lights and Shaders, check.
CMS, not sure actually. Gives me something to look at tonight :)

And, I'll think I'll make sure I'm using the most recently available version, I may still be on a Beta.

Okie, Default Lights and Shaders? Are they available as a seperate download?

I cleared off the old version of Studio off my laptop, then downloaded the current version, installed it, ran it, then started downloading content from my accounts Product Library, but I don't see a seperate download for 'Default Lights and Shaders'.

Edit: Yup, they're there, but the 'preset' pane function still does nothing.

They should be in the list of items on the main Daz Studio page https://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/files#prod_13176
