This plugin will not load in versions of <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio prior to 4.6. </p> </div> <h2 id="installing_the_plugin">Installing the Plugin</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Installation can be accomplished using the standalone installer, but is typically much easier using <a href="/public/software/install_manager/start" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:install_manager:start">DAZ Install Manager</a>. With <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Install Manager, you simply login to your <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> 3D Store account, locate the plugin (type “sku::16684” into the <a href="/public/software/install_manager/referenceguide/interface/filter_field/start" class="wikilink1" title="public:software:install_manager:referenceguide:interface:filter_field:start">Filter Field</a>), and then download and install the plugin. Using <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Install Manager to perform the installation also provides you with a notification system that informs you when any updates become available. </p> <p> In order to use the plugin, you will need to register it using the serial number provided in your <a href="https://www.daz3d.com/customer/account/index/" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="https://www.daz3d.com/customer/account/index/" rel="nofollow noopener">DAZ 3D Store account</a>. You can quickly obtain this number by selecting “Show Serial Number…” from the option/context menu for the product in <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Install Manager, and then pressing the “Copy” button in the message that displays as a result. You can also manually locate the serial number on the <a href="http://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/serialnumbers/" class="urlextern" target="_blank" title="http://www.daz3d.com/downloader/customer/serialnumbers/" rel="nofollow noopener">My Serial Numbers</a> page of your <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> 3D Store account. If you do choose to manually locate the serial number, it is easiest to select and copy the number from the page, to avoid typos. </p> <p> Once the plugin is installed, and the serial number is copied to your clipboard, you will need to do the following: </p> <ol> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Launch <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Click “<strong>Help</strong>”</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Click “<strong>About Installed Plugins…</strong>”</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Scroll until you find the Measure Metrics plugin</div> </li> </ol> <p> Click in the text field to the right of the plugin name and paste your serial number. A check mark, to the right of the field, should highlight to let you know that the serial number is valid. Once you&#039;ve done this, click the “<strong>Ok</strong>” button, close and then restart the <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio application. Your plugin should now be active. </p> <p> <a href="/_media/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/plugins/measure_metrics/installation/00_plugin_active.png" class="media" target="_blank" title="public:software:dazstudio:4:referenceguide:plugins:measure_metrics:installation:00_plugin_active.png" rel="noopener"><img src="/_media/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/plugins/measure_metrics/installation/00_plugin_active.png" class="mediacenter" alt="" /></a> </p> </div> <h2 id="wrap-up">Wrap-Up</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> You are now ready to use the Measure Metrics plugin.
