ID 427776 - NetworkMaterialCreate: Shader parameters named Parameters do not expand

Follow

Problem summary
Shader Args Files that contain a page named ‘Parameters’ create a ‘Parameters’ parameter group in the renderer-specific ShadingNode. However, in the NetworkMaterialCreate context, the shader parameters named ‘Parameters’ do not expand.

Customer reported version
katana.3.5v1

Customer reported platform
centos7

Steps to reproduce
  1. 1. Edit RenderManProServer-22.7/lib/plugins/Args/PxrBump.args
    Line 31: <page name="Pattern" open="True">
    to
    Line 31: <page name="Parameters" open="True"> 

  2. 2. Start Katana with the RenderManForKatana plugin.

  3. 3. Create a NetworkMaterialCreate node.

  4. 4. Inside the NetworkMaterialCreate context, create a PxrBump shading node.


Expected behavior
User can expand the second Parameters drop-down.

Actual behavior
The second Parameters drop-down cannot be expanded.

Workaround
Rename the shader Args file page name to something other than ‘Parameters’.
