Petipet Sci-Fi Bike

Joe Webb

I'm having trouble locating this item in Daz. I use the DIM to download, and when I look at Show Package files or Installed Files, they look like they are were they are supposed to be. But in Daz Studio I can't find the product or files. I even tried to import the files but the files aren't recognized (greyed out). I noticed that petipet's Hover Bike files were updated at the same time, and now many of them have broken links in the Content library, so I wonder if that might be related?

I downloaded the Shuriken at the same time and they show up fine.

So is it me or a funky download or something else?

Thanks

Are you loking under DAZ Studio Formats in the Content Library pane or under one of the CMS views (Categories or Products in Content Library, or Smart Content)?

Joe Webb

I looked everywhere I could think to look: Smart Content under Transportation, Props, various characters, figures, etc. I used the Search function with terms like "bike" "sci-fi" "petipet". So I used the DIM to uninstall, delete all the files and reinstall.

Now they do appear in the Content Library>My Daz 3D Library>Vehicles>Petipet, and in the Poser library.

So problem solved, mostly. I can access the model now but it stil won't appear in Smart Content or Products (my preferred method).

What version of DS?

Joe Webb

4.8

Thats probably it.

4.8 shouldn't have any issue with DIM-installed metadata.  Can you re-import metadata for the item?

That did it! The files are showing where I like them to show up :)  Thanks Fixmypcmike, you live up to your name.
