    Nobody knows your content settings. Why don't you just look it up in the package?

    The gun itself (two versions) is under Figures, in the Articulate Props folder, and all the accessories are under Props, in the Tools_Weapons folder.

    This is a very old Poser item, remember, in fact it's one of the grand old originals transferred from Zygote when it was thought Poser might be a neat little program worth spending a little effort to make nice content for it. As a result, many things of that vintage got installed to amazingly unobvious places, and many of the content folder names made little or no sense.

    Note that the materials will all need to be reworked, and the mesh is a bit iffy by modern standards; you will have to triangulate it (then re-save as a Figure Asset) to get rid of some annoying glitches in modern D|S versions, and I'm not sure all the body part articulation dials still work the way they did in Poser. All in all, though, it's a nice little fixer-upper that's held up quite well for its age. Still perfectly useable IMHO unless you want to use it for a fully animated closeup.

    If you open DIM, go to the installed stuff tab, and scroll down to the item in question.

    Right click the text, and select "Show installed files". It will show the paths as the operating system sees it, and in studio the path should be close.

    Your looking for a file that ends with something like ".DUF", or ".CR2".

    Give me a second to see if I have that, and make a screen cap if I can.
    (edit)
    or what "SpottedKitty" stated, we doubled, lol.
    (edit2)
    I thought I may have that, tho it was the "Dystopia Kruger Mk 15", Of course difficult to search for as "gun" is not in the name at all in DIM, lol.

    As for stuff installed from ZIP files rather then DIM. It can also be as easy as opening the zip file, and looking at the folder paths in the zip file.

    Then look for a similar path in the Content Library. Some folders get different names to confuse people (Thanks Jaderail, Kerya, fixmypcmike, and many others).

    Also in the DIM, see that little "i" which stands for information? That takes you to the ReadMe and often there is a list of included files. Some tell you where the item is at, but there are a LOT of ReadMe's that are really worthless or are incomplete.

    And it's fine to ask where something is located- I've had to do it quite a few times myself, even looking at the files! :)
