Exposed parameters in dependency not show up in main graph

Hi,

 

I came across an issue about exposed parameters. I added some exposed parameters in the dependency .sbs file and I realize those parameters show up in the right "input parameter " list, however, when I go back to main .sbs file that use this dependency, the input parameter list does not include these new added exposed parameters from dependency. Could you please give me some suggestion about that?

 

Thanks

If you are using a graph instance (A) inside another graph (B) and want the parameters exposed as part of the top level (B) graph then you need to expose them there also, not just in the graph instance.

Click on the node for the graph instance and go to input parameters. You should see the parameters you exposed in that graph (A). Then expose them in the main graph (B).

 

Note : There are certain parameters which will not be exposed in an exported SBSAR - see limitations in the section linked below:

One more thing, the exposed parameters in the dependecy I want to add is part of parameters from a tile generator instead of a separate input node. I also tried to add an separate input node as expsoed parameter in dependency it still does not show in main sbs file
