Open the Multi-lister

Open the Multi-lister to create, edit, manage, and display shaders, textures, lights, and the environment.

To open the Multi-lister

• Select Windows > Multi-lister to display the Multi-lister menu. The menu item you use to open the Multi-lister determines the type of swatches listed in the Multi-lister.

  You can display:

  • a specific type of swatch (select Shaders, Lights, or Glows)
  • selected (picked) lights or shaders that are assigned to active (picked) objects (select Picked)
  • all swatches: the environment, and all shaders, lights, and textures (select List all).

    See Change the Multi-lister display.

  After you open the Multi-lister, you can change the type of swatches listed.

  If there are no shaders or lights in memory, the Multi-lister lists two swatches: the environment and the default shader.

  You can position the Multi-lister window anywhere on the screen, resize it or stow it, like any other Alias window.

  Note:

  The Multi-lister may seem to take a long time to open. There may be an NFS problem: Use the file reference to determine if there are any invalid file paths that access NFS mounted file systems. Repair any incorrect NFS referenced files before opening the Multi-lister.
