I cannot locate in DAZ Studio 4 some genesis morphs I recently downloaded from Sharecg. Some  are by Jabba such as to fix the butt and a tween morph is from Murgatroyd. Also, I downloaded some fixit morphs for feet. They show up in My Library, but I cannot find them in DAZ Studio either with scanning the drives for new material or through products. Is there another way. They were placed where they are supposed to be. I have checked more than once.

Thanks

Are you sure you placed them where they are meant to be? New morphs, as opposed to settings for existing morphs, don't usually show in the library but go in the (right place in) the Data folder and are loaded with Genesis.

Yes, I do know where they are to go. Now I need to know why I can't find them in DAZ Studio 4.

The Tween morphs, for example should be here:

DAZ 3DStudioMy LibrarydataDAZ 3DGenesisBaseMorphsMurgatroyd

Can you see them there?

In Shaping with Genesis selected, the head morphs, for example, are in the Head section, or in Parameters, under Actor/Head. In Parameters you will see them here unless Genesis is selected at the root "Genesis" in the Scene tab, but not if any node (bone) of Genesis is selected separately.

The above is in Studio 4.5, I believe things are different in 4.0 in respect to what appears in Parameters and Shaping. Also, as I seem to recall, in 4.0, new morphs don't appear on previously saved figures (e.g. if you load an old scene) and you have to "refresh" Genesis by reloading the base Genesis figure. I expect you are already looking at a freshly loaded base Genesis, but I thought it might be worth checking.

Otherwise, I can't think of any reason why you cannot find the morphs.

I have just loaded 4.5 and once my drive c backup is finished, I wll look for them. Yes, they were loaded in the correct place.  

Thank you for answering.

FyraNyancer - They are in My Library correctly. I have tried to locate the tween morph in Studio 4.5. I cannot find it anywhere. I have followed your searching advice. I don't care about this morph necessarily, but I want to understand the different places they might be. It doesn't amke sense that I cannot find it. If you have any more ideas, I'd appreciate them.

Thanks a lot.

Are you looking in the Shaping pane or the Parametrs pane?

I have looked in both. 

I have looked in both. 

select actor and do a search for "tween" sorry for no screen caps but i´m not on my pc right now. should be under parameters tab me thinks

This problem has me rather stumped. Is there anything untypical about your content folders structure? For example, you don't have two "data" folders (where Genesis morphs are kept)? If these morphs are in the same structure as all the other Genesis morphs and shapes that you can see, it seems very odd that they are not being picked up when Genesis loads. Could it be something to do with "permissions" in the morphs' folders? Have you looked in the Daz log to see if there is an error mentioning one of the morphs?

You might look with "Show Hidden Properties" checked, although these morphs should not be hidden (there are couple of linked morphs that are, but you don't need to access those), and whether you can see the morphs using the Properties Editor (Actor/Female/Real World is one place to look).

Oh, and did you install the Genesis Starter Essentials bundle that comes with your DAZ 4.5 downloads? Not sure if this would be relevant, but it's something should be done anyway.

Yes, yes, yes. That did it. I have used the search mechanism but didn't select actor. I tried it seems like everything else.  Now I think I can look for other morphs if the problem arises again. I, also, thought I looked at all the areas in both parameters and shaping. Thank you so much. The issue made no sense to me. It was a matter of not knowing where it should show up.

I appreciate all the help I got.

You have to know what to select before you do a search. I think i discovererd this method by mistake :lol:
