Hi @kirkr5689,

 

There are a few options why a graph would be read-only:

 

  1. The file is located in a read only folder of your OS
  2. The file has been moved/renamed while it was open in Substance 3D Designer
  3. The sbs you are trying to read is one of the Substance 3D Designer library

    Thank you for replying. So what would be a proper way to save a few presets in material node?    Like having only certain inpit/outputs visiable?


    I opened a node from SD material library and did "save as" into my own folder. Close the original and opened the new one.   Is it enough or I am still missing something?
