If you expand the zip file that the product came in,  what folders do have? 

As others have said sometimes manual moving these folders to one of your existing "Content" folders allows DazStudio to find them.

But remember DazStudio is flexible and will search for your files in whatever folder you point to in the preferences/content tab.  You can literally have dozens of content library folders and dazstudio will find them all, and on various drives as long as you point to them properly in preferences. 


I only use DAZ well enough to export to Poser.  Beyond that I an just not literate in the software.  What I can't grasp is why DAZ can find the content I have in the directory structure in the OPost, but can't find this one product, which is filed IN THE SAME PLACE. Why does whatever logic employed in this file structure seem to elude me? DAZ cannot find this product in search either, although it can find the other products in that same directory.

I compare this to putting a bunch of excel files in a file folder, and knowing that when I want to open Excel and access them,  it will recognize them as Excel documents, find them and be able to load them.  Trying to use navigate around this issue is quite the exercise in frustration.
