Description I managed to get this usable in DAZ. Can anyone tell me why the figure does not cast shadows?

Maybe it was just cloudy that day. 😉

Doesn't cast shadows... IT'S A VAMPIRE TRUCK!

... No, wait.  That's reflections.

I'd normally say you just have the shadows clicked off, but there are times that the shadows are simply just not rendered and has nothing to do with your settings.  I have this happen every so often.

I've only got one "distant light" in the scene..not very familiar with the DAZ settings..... Shadow bias etc.  "cast shadows is on for everything. Lighting has always been my biggest problem even in MAX. Just can't seem to figure out the "rules' for it.  lol

The truck looks pretty usable though, kevin. 

As for the figure, as far as I can tell its casting a shadow, just not a clear one due to angle.

It might be the light angle, and the lights Shadow blur radius. Not to sure. I think she is casting a slight shadow. It runs from her left knee towards her right then under the van. Its faint but its there.. How many lights are working and which ones are casting shadows? I'm basing this on Poser 2014.

If you are not adding lights into your scene, the default light remains active, and no shadows will show. add a light, and the default one automatically disables. Go to the Parameters panel or the Lights and Cameras panel to edit your lights. You can add a light from the Lights section of the Lights and Cameras panel, or you can create one from the Create Menu. In the panel for the Lights, you can turn on shadows, change the colors of the shadow and of the light, Soften the shadow, etc.

When I look close at you image it appears to me that you do have shadows, but they are not as defined as they should be, and your character is not casting a shadow like the tree or the vehicle. So you may need to turn on shadow casting for the figure.
