i have 3dxchange 5 pro the latest version and when i export the fbx out of daz3d and import it into 3dxchange it only shows up as a prop please help me.

Which version of DAZ, and are you exporting it as a Figure, or a Prop. FBX can be either.

Choose Figure and Animation for DAZ Export, even if it has no animation of motion.

" If I had Alzheimer's (Old Timers), would I know it? "

the newest version just downloaded it a few days ago

I had heard some other things about 4.7 which is the latest DAZ version, but I have not upgraded to it.

It also looks like the FBX plug-in is sold now and may not work unless purchased. This is a guess however, but you may want to verify this on the DAZ forums.

FBX Plugin sold on DAZ Store for DAZ 4.7

It says it is included with installation, but I have no idea whether the paid version even offers more or not. I'd say it should work, as the ad for the sale of the plug-in states it is included in the package. http://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/files/prod/13176/

" If I had Alzheimer's (Old Timers), would I know it? "

i have 3dxchange 5 pro is there a difference with 3dxchange 5 pipeline because ive done this already in the past with no problems unless they changed it.

No difference for the import option. Pipeline is primarily for export to other platforms. That is about the extent of the differences.

wow i think its this daz 4.7 and i cant find an earlier daz3d release

or somehow my 3dxchange isnt working properly

FIGURED IT OUT SOMEHOW BY INSTALLING ICLONE 5 ALSO IT ALL WORKS FINE

Must be a link between the two programs that establishes the connection for bone profiles. Perhaps RL can explain. Not really sure why the connection is needed, but glad you got it worked out. Good for others who encounter the same issue.

So, bottom line is if importing DAZ FBX as a character, iClone5 has to be installed also. Good to know.
