Trying to find out why the Parameters in Split view sometimes don’t behave independently, but instead both windows’ parameters update to the parameters of the node chosen in either window… what have I done wrong??
… further - it’s only when the two panes are on the same level of the network, but it would be nice if they could still behave independent of one another. Is this possible?
The parameter dialogs do behave independent of each other, they show the info for the node that is selected in that pane. But it sounds like you have selected the exact same node in both panes, so both parameter dialogs show the same info for the same node - what else would you expect?
If you click another node in any of the panes, you’ll see the parameter dialog in that pane now shows info for the node you selected.
thanks for the reply - the issue is that no matter which node I click in either pane, the Parameters in both panes update to that node.
and in fact, if I select a node in the left pane, then select a different node in the right pane, the left pane select follows… so maybe it’s not the parameter link so much as the select? something’s odd…
I click a node, then split screen, then click say a container in the new screen to go in - the parameters in the first window update to the Container. Then once it’s out of the same level, they seem to be unlinked
Ah sorry, I answered to early, only now do I realize what is happening.
The selection of nodes in TD is network wide (or more accurate: per network path ), not per panel. This means multiple panels showing the same network path will always show the same nodes selected - which means the parameter windows will then also show the same nodes.
But if you have a large network on a single zoomlevel this is usually a sign to make it a bit more modular and it would be good to start breaking it down into several COMPs.
- also you can just edit your posts instead of posting more replies - which could make this thread easier to read for others
yes, this is what I’m working on : )
ok, good to know, and thanks for the help!
You guys pretty much figured it out. If you need to view different parameter dialogs on the same level, you have to use floating parameter windows, available through the RMB menu.
