Increased my data. Bound and determined to not blow my holiday Daz time.

Currently reinstalling content.

Content Library is showing and seems to load objects and such but morphs and such not found on loaded character . Database issues.

Daz Connect seems to be the better of the two choices.

Had a feeling meta was thumbnails and organization.  Currently meta update is 27% of some 5000 items.

What I did was delete the old content library and loaded a batch of files in its place. Smart files largely were wiped out. I am hoping the data is still there but unconnected.

What is Metadata besides being a quality of smart stuff.

What is the difference between Daz connect and daz central. My guess is they are independent of each other and connect is internal to daz and centtral is an external loader.

Pretty sure something important to smart content was in Content Library .

Well that was an Epic failure. While my Content Library is showing my reloaded stuff everything in smart content is now hosed.

Still have pretty thumbnails but nothing in smart content is working. Daz attempted a 5000+ meta update that failed.

I think I'm grounded due to my limited net connection but the Bull in the china shop will inquire.

Thanks. That's what I needed to know.

Guess I will consult the higher authority first.  If I eliminate the non smart stuff content will it effect the smart stuff from daz?

Your always helpful. You explained a way to look for this problem and that's helpful. Sure beats the heck out of watching models load or going through all ones morphs looking for problems.

You just hang tight and be observant because after loading Daz Connect my detailed mind is adding questions to a growing list.

Unable to find mesh offset property. 

I will check tonight.

Not that I see .

We certainly shall try tonight!

Guess I learned more over the weekend.  I reloaded some stuff and added a couple new things and still nothing works completely. 

I for a long time have thought something in this daztime has caused my characters to be thicker and voluptuous than portrayed.  Know I bought characters at Rendo and Hub that intruded in part or whole on base G8. Dug these out but suspected there was more. 

So Richard where should I build my next Content Library?  

If I leave the old library will this conflict with the old?

First off Thank You Richard ! I have made some progress by wrapped my head around some aspects that may need to change.

I have reluctantly loaded Daz Central and reloaded some stuff. 

I have recovered some of my Content Library and some of it works and some not. Would like to get that honed in if possible.

Still have original daztime on other drive that could be moved again if there is a better way to do it.

Took a look at the files I have transfered.

Currently -Documents/Daz3d studio

My Daz connect library 

My library

Render library

All seem present. My Daz is large and does not visible as your previous statement.

Think I have found on the tabs where to tell Daz to look for old directory.  Will try tonight hopefully.
