Hidden properties in the Surfaces still showing

RAMWolff

Hi,

This has happened before and I can't remember how to fix this issue.  At some point hidden properties under the surfaces tab no longer are hidden BUT if I click on the properties of any given unhidden / hidden property the Hidden box is ticked so not sure what's going on.  Yes the Show Hidden Properties is clicked off in the drop down menu so it's not me being lame brained.  It's quite confusing when I'm switching between the various Base Mixing options to not have properties that SHOULD be hidden NOT being hidden.  Makes for allot of extra scrolling too!  Grrrrrrrrr

I've had some problems like that, maybe not exactly the same as you are seeing though.  It seems to mostly happen because of undo/redo events.

Normally, I can get the "hidden" stuff hidden again by flipping the state of the parameter responsible for hiding or unhiding the stuff.

For example, the Glossy Roughness value controls whether or not Glossy Anisotropy and Glossy Anisotropy Rotations are visible.  If Glossy Roughness is 0.0, the others are hidden.  If its non-zero, they are visible.

When the hidden state of the Anisotropy parameters get out of sync with the Glossy Roughness value, I just edit Glossy Roughness, copy the current value, set it to 0.0, hit ENTER, then manually set the value back to what it was.  The Anisotropy parameters are then back in sync with Glossy Roughness.

I've had times when all the properties are showing, even though the Surfaces->Editor menu option to Show Hidden Properties is not checked. Oddly enough, checking that option would then hide the properties. It's been a while, and I think that was in 4.8. Still, you might give it a try.

Yes I clear remember,, the option worked as if reverse option.. when set "hidden" it turn visible.. then set "show hidden-properties" ,ds hide them abut surface tab,

I do not know clear,, when it happen though.  (eg the shader is generated by shader mixer,  without save etc)

=====

then I simply check about Uber iray shader , actually this option still  work  as pefectly reverse way about surface tab.

if I check show hidden properties,, surface tab hide them. at least on my cute PC and daz studio 4.9

then you may be asked  "please send bug ticket ! without it,,, etc  " 

But I do not believe,, it have not been reported by someone,,,  and why to find  this bug, need another report by user.  it should be aready recognized by daz tester I believe.

The problem is maybe we can not detect when it happen clear to reproduce .but  today I already get second time it happend. then record it now.

As you see,, now my surface tab of uber iray shader  show "hidden properties".  pic1 .   then lets check current surface tab option. pic2

I do not check "show hidden proeprties" as current option.  pic2 

then if I check it,, the surface tab hide those option.  (may need not add more pic)

unfortunately it often change,,  when I try to send  bug report,, usually not happen. but actually it often happen. not rare case.

Yes, I notice that too when checking the Show Hidden Properties then the unwanted properties hide again.  Werid mess!  LOL

Then if DAZ offer bug track system, we just need to check it,, or add pic when we find it,, and claim daz to correct it,, may not need to use ths forum ^^

but untill daz d offer bug tracking system for user and customer,, I must use here.  (to show clear current problem of daz studiio)
