General
- Unit Scale: Conversion factor between DAZ Studio and Blender units. Defaults to 0.01 which converts from centimeters to meters.
- Verbosity: A value between 1 and 5 which determines how much information is printed in the terminal window. At higher values problems such as missing assets raise errors.
- Case-Sensitive Paths: Enable this on a case-sensitive OS (Linux or Mac), disable on a case-insenstive OS (Windows). This option should automatically be set to the correct value.
case sensitive. by Alessandro
DAZ assets are not designed for a case sensitive file system, that is, PAs may use both upper or lower case names to refer to the same ID or URL. This works in Windows and Mac OS which are not case sensitive, but doesn’t work on Linux by default. The “case sensitive“ option in the global settings doesn’t really help much as a scan is necessary to list the clashing entries. However, it is possible in Linux to set specific folders to be case insensitive, and this works fine to install the DAZ content, this is also how linux for gaming as Steam is set up.

note. From version 4.5 of the addon it is no more necessary to scan paths and the tool is removed.
Unit Scale
This parameter converts between DAZ Studio and Blender units. The units used natively by DAZ Studio are centimeters. The default value of Unit Scale = 0.01 thus corresponds to setting the units to meters in Blender. Here are some common values for this parameter.
- Centimeters: Unit Scale = 1.0, 1 B.U. = 1 cm.
- Decimeters: Unit Scale = 0.1, 1 B.U. = 1 dm.
- Meters: Unit Scale = 0.01, 1 B.U. = 1 m.
- Inches: Unit Scale = 0.3937, 1 B.U. = 2.54 cm.
