    Try selecting with either the surface selection tool, or flip over to the Surfaces pane and make sure that the item's surfaces are actually being selected...sometimes just selecting the item isn't enough (not sure why that is...though).

    And is this for any item or just one specific one?

    Do you have, by any chance 'nested' content folders?

    Can you post a screenshot of your content folder tree from your OS file manager?

    Expand the Runtime folder...

    At least in that shot, there's nothing nested. Is this the only mapped content directory? And where is it located?

    Hi,,,hadeahkc

    genesis and hair are loaded correctly. and smart content seems work well. (the items of the product are shown)
    so that I think,, you may need to understand clear how to use Smart Content tab.:roll:

    now you load hair,, then next if you want to apply material for the hair,
    first you better to change viewer "product" to Files.

    then select "hair" in the scene and select "material" selection in smart content,
    it may show you files which have refelence about the hair.(in your pic Aldora Hair you loaded)

    when you select "genesis" in the scene and select "material" in smart content,
    it may show you all materiall (skin) files which have refellence with genesis.

    if you tell us "what you want " clear,, other user can show you clear step.;-)

    =============================================

    when you use "porduct" view in smart content , it can not show you the files of category
    which you select in smart content .
    the "category selection" can work "files" view only.

    On "product view", I need to extract and select category in Product viewer.
    and need to serch by your self, which files are materiall or figure.
    so that "product view", is difficult to serch items untill I understand about each files.

    Though it is useful for check items of the product.

    And,, if you want to serch skin for genesis with product view,
    like my pic,,

    you need to extract category in product view.
    default>materials>skin. it may show you the files of the category in current product.

    but it can not show you with which each files have refference.
    eg,, each material files are for genesis or for hair or for clothing etc.
