Hi, see my video below. I thought by double clicking the tags it would give me access in attributes manager as well without selecting any tag. Thoughts? ty

Hi thanulee,

Thanks for the screen capture, very helpful!

This would be a question for the Octane forum.
https://render.otoy.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=30
or their support. Sorry to re-direct you here.

Fingers crossed it will be solved for you.
.

Since I do not have a full running Octane environment here (of course I wish Macs would be included), I see that you need to have at least one Tag already active to select those, as your clip shows, nine Tags are recognized in the Attribute Manager. This is since a while the behavior of this plug in, as I can confirm this for R17 even (it doesn’t need the hard ware [GPU] to work at least in the interface).

My suggestions, use the Selection> Selection Filter> Create Selection Object. You will notice that the Selection Object will fail to store only Tags initially. So select at least one Object while creating the Selection Object, then delete that Object out of the List. The selection of all Tags populating that Selection Object will be “re-selected” with that option, and if named properly, it will work with many other Selection Objects.
In case you have never used the Selection Object, Select the Selection Object, and in the Attribut Manager> Object> [button] Restore Selection. IF you ahve many Tags, and if you even have the need to change always a specific group of those, or all, this is the way to go.


Cheers

Thanks, btw it happens with any tag. I just happened to use octane here. Happens with anything in that selection list, either tags or objects etc.
I always need to have selected at least one. Does this happen on ur side? Thanks for the rest tips!

Thanulee, I remember a while ago that I got this behavior, but it vanished after restart, so I couldn’t file a report.

If you are on the latest build of the application, and even a restart won’t help, please contact the support:
https://www.maxon.net/en-us/support/how-can-we-help/

Sorry that I can’t do more.

Fingers crossed it will be soon solved, one way or the other.
