edited December 1969 in Daz Studio Discussion

1. Is it possible and if so how do I reorder properties. Ex. Move diffuse Path group up to the top, from bottom.

2. Is it possible to color code Shader properties. Ex. Shaping properties let you add color and icons.

3. Is there a way to open up a second Content library Tab/window.

4. Is there a quick way to mass tag everything as compatible with AnySurface/AnyObject so everything shows up in the Smart content window at all times.

5. If no on 4, is there a way to set Smart Content to just show everything regardless of selection. Ex. always unfiltered.

If none of these things are possible then take this as feature request post.

    1. Is it possible and if so how do I reorder properties. Ex. Move diffuse Path group up to the top, from bottom.No. The order of the surface properties are defined by the author of the shader and can't be changed.

    2. Is it possible to color code Shader properties. Ex. Shaping properties let you add color and icons.
    This one I'm not sure about ... I'd have to check once I'm back home at my graphics computer. Maybe someone who has DS handy could answer.

    3. Is there a way to open up a second Content library Tab/window.

    I don't believe so. I think you can only have one of each tab open at a time.

    4. Is there a quick way to mass tag everything as compatible with AnySurface/AnyObject so everything shows up in the Smart content window at all times.


    No. The Smart Content that shows up is controlled by meta data that is defined in the content files. So even tagging something as being compatible with say Victoria 6 is difficult if it isn't already marked that way by the creator.

    5. If no on 4, is there a way to set Smart Content to just show everything regardless of selection. Ex. always unfiltered.Same answer as #4. :(

    If you have nothing selected in the Scene pane or Viewport, then ALL Smart Content will be displayed. Click on an empty part of the Scene pane or Viewport, or right click and use 'Clear Selection'.

    I am creating a shader in the Shader mixer, I don't know if that counts as authoring. I can Group properties together by placing them in the same path but I can't find a away to change their order within that group.
