Brand new to Poser 7 after a couple of years of DS, and I'm trying to figure out HOW i can access the pz3 scenes from DM's products. Read me says they go in Runtime/DM Production Pz3's, which is where I have placed them, but i can't figure out how to SEE them. Do I need to add it as a new runtime or something? 

You should be able to click on and open the pz3s directly. They are Poser scene files. 

Alternately, you can import the pz3 through Poser’s 'import object' feature.  

they're not showing up at all. There's a folder called DM Production pz3's but when I click on that, it's blank - the folders with the scene files in them aren't visible.

Re-openj your zip file and just have a look at the path the pz3's are actually going to, that will tell you "exactly" where they are.

I did. They go to RuntimeDM Production Pz3's  The problem I am having is that I can't seem to locate them in the library within Poser - there's figures, poses, camera etc on the right hand side. And the pz3 folders aren't showing when I click on any of them.

PZ3s do not show up in the library. You have to either open (create a new scene) or import (into a existing scene) them through the main menu.

As tomlin says, there should be a folder in your runtime called DM Productions pz3's, you'll find them in there. You can do File/open inside Poser  and locate it that way or go into the folder and double click on the pz3.

As tomlin stated on the previous post, these are pz3 files, or complete scenes, which can be found in the designated folder.  You will never see them in the Poser library.  Just go File>Open and navigate to the folder where they are kept.  Simple if you want to see what you have.

thanks all! i was under the impression you could see them within poser and just click to open them, not import. I thought I wasn't explaining myself correctly. LOL. Appreciate all the help, and thanks for the screenshot Witchdidi! I'm starting to find my way around P7 at last. LOL

You're welcome. I'm learning DS so I know what it feels like to be lost!
