I have an issue with multiple mapping channels. Why would the checkmark get greyed out ? How do I add a new channel without affecting the existing ones now ? [image] Here I have an object with two channels, but a third one cannot be added

[image] ThomasAn: Why would the checkmark get greyed out ? You can only uncheck the checkbox if there is only one mapping channel. [image] ThomasAn: How do I add a new channel without affecting the existing ones now ? The new channel won’t affect the existing one. Here’s the example. …

I suppose it’s no longer a problem once I know about it. Ma…

@ThomasAn The RH-67364 that I reported is because the color has the alpha value set to 0 that makes any colors, other than white, transparent. About the name “convention”. Sure it’s a Rhino convention, but having empty fields without sample text in them is often a minus on UI design. It is also …

Interesting observation on the alpha channel. Thank you for that !

As I read the discussion on RH-67364 one thing I’d add is this: why are borders A, B, and C different on the same color value ? Border B seems to be the most prominent and border C is the greyed out version of border B … therefore border A implies to the user that it’s also a greyed version of some…
