Manually installing a product

jaxprog

Hi guys!

I purchased stonemason's classical pool last night and didn't get around to using DIM until this morning. To my surprise classical pool does install via DIM. So I unzipped it to a collection of organized files but I have no idea where to place them within Daz's folder structure so that I can put it to use. I am hoping that once someone helps me find the right folders to manually place the files that I can also see the product's icons in Daz Studio in order to deploy the product to the scene.

As always I thank you for assistance in advance.

You could just place the zip in the Downloads folder for DIM, I think, but all you need is to merge the foldrs in the Content folder in the zip with your own content library folder - My Library or My DAZ 3D Library or whatever you use.

Thanks Richard.
I managed to put the individual files into what I believe are the mirrored paths from the zip file to the My Library folders.
There were three paths:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\Runtime\Geometries\DAZProps\Med
C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\Runtime\Libraries\Props\Scenery
C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\Runtime\Textures\DAZ\Props\MED

So that takes care of the placing the files.
Next challenge is getting Daz Studio to see the files in those folders.

Per the screen shot when I go visit My Daz Library these items are not showing up.
How do I get Daz to see these so I put them to use via the user interface?

They will show up in Poser Formats > My DAZ 3D Library > Props > Scenery
