A way to make a new fill layer having turned off channels by default

I'm not sure if this request ever came up, but having turned off channels by default when creating a fill layer would be really helpful, especially when working with just masks.

Each time I create a layer Substance has to recompute color/normal/height, etc. Which takes time, and really annoying.

Hi @Ilia5C31,

 

Maybe a workaround that could interest you would be to create a Fill Layer, turn off all the channels, create a material preset from the Fill layer (RMB on Properties panel > Create material preset), and add the new material to your favorites (RMB on Material > Add to favorites).

 

This way, the empty Fill Layer will always be at the top of the library and you'll simply have to drag and drop the asset on your layer stack to add an empty layer.

 

It's not as easy as simply clickin

It's not as easy as simply clicking on the Fill Layer button, but I thought it was worth mentionning.
