I have a couple of question to ask and Hope that I am in the right place and that they haven't been answered  some were else . I looked but didn't fine any answers so I will ask away.

  1. I have a lot of content for daz and just got a bigger drive " I was running out of room as   I sure most of us do".  I know there is a lot of content that I never use but just had to   have so went and bought it or download the free stuff.  my question is I would like to move it over to the new drive but would like to put it in vendors  in the runtime. should I make a runtime for each vendor or can I just make folders for each. I would like to keep all the stuff from one vendor together so I don't spend half the time looking for it like I. do now  also I'm not sure I have all the installs for the stuff which sucks I know  but life is what it is. any help would be great.

 

2.  Is there any way to do measurements for my character . I have a model I would like to do. and she is 34c, 25, 35 and 5'2" tall. I found a chart for the height that gives me the decimal equivalent so no problem there but the other sizes I can't fine anything on. do I just have to go with what I see and hope that is close.

 

thanks for any help that you can give much appreciated

Roland59 has an EasyPose  tape measure in freestuff that might be helpful.

 And once you have the measurements, here's a handy bra size calculator so you can be sure that  Vicky has comfortable, well fitting support - and perhaps answer the age old question of whether the camera adds a cup size.

On a related note, there's an old script for Daz Studio by Delta X15 (http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=295560)  that brings up a dialog box showing the the objects size in all three dimensions.  It can switch between various Metric and American units.

The two major limitations is that it shows the size of an object at its widest, ie a character in the default 'Cross-Pose' has a width of over 5 feet.  To get specific node width, you have to select only that node.  Also, I don't think it adjust for angle, so a two meter person laying at a 45 degree angle would be reported as having a 'height' of about 141cm along the Y axis.

Still, very handy, for a six year old script.  I keep it as a custom action on my toolbar. :)  Orgininally heard about it in a Daz Forum (See: http://forumarchive.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?p=3414212)

Roland's measuring tape is apparently only for Poser. Don't know how to make it work for DS 4 or if that's even possible.

Looks like all these are for Poser and not DAZ.  Sigh
