I'm new to Daz 4 and am slowly learning how to operate the software. I write children's songs and stories and purchased See the Sun from 1971s. There was no information concerning where to actually put the purchased folders, so I simply put it in Daz Studio where the content is stored. I wanted to use the surfaces from the package, and was able to File - import the obj. file and got the ship but with just the smooth shiny skin. I 'somehow' imported mat file from the purchased libraries under Pose and I suddenly got the ship with the textures/surfaces applied. This is what I wanted. 

But now I open a new document in Daz and try the same thing (file - import) and nothing, an empty screen. It says it loaded it, but nothing. Also the file in the Material folder, but nothing. How did I get this to happen once before? Have I changed a preset by accident?
