Control properties not showing for G8.1

Hi there,

I have trouble making control properties for G8.1 and I also have some little questions about those.

Maybe it is a known issue. So I need to make a control property that includes the scaling of multiple bones of the G8.1F figure + 2 morphs modifier/shape. Then, ERC freeze the thing; I test the slider and it works properly and so I save it as morph asset. It is showing in the directory where I saved the asset: [...]\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\[...]. However, when I load a new character, load a new scene or I even if I restart Daz, the new ctrl prop does not appear where it should. My guest is that the ctrl prop is using morphs that are originaly from the Genesis 8 model or maybe it's the combinaison of the G8.1 and G8 morphs that cause the issue. I must say, I did try to remove the G8 morphs from the ctrl prop in the Property hierarchy tab; saved it back, but that didin't fix it. Still not showing. Any idea?

Then some quick questions:

- Is there caviats in what type of slider you include in a ctrl prop? As in, what if you include let's say a slider that scale a bone, a morph type modifier/shape or a pose modifier/pose. What if you include one of each of those in a single ctrl prop. 

- Can you create a ctrl prop that include another ctrl prop that you previously created? How's the ERC doing in those cases. 

 

Thank youuu; feel free to answer partially to anything here, have a good day.

    Can you create and save a simpler case, such as a slider that just drives the Z Translation?

    Is it just scale that gives the issue? How about another really simple, juist one slider driving a single scale property?

    I just tested a couple ctrl props , simple and complex, in a empty scene and they all work. I have the bad habit to do this type of work in a very clugged scene with a duplicate of the principal character zeroed. Idk, this might be why I get stuff not working properly. 

    I'll test back the real thing in a proper setting later today and I'll get back here if anything :L
