Identify missing members in a collection

Identify missing nodes in a collection

Nodes may be missing from your collection in the following cases:

In this case, the Render Setup editor marks the layer and collection with a icon to alert you of the error, and the Property Editor identifies these missing objects with a grey, italicized and strikeout font in the static selection list.

You may have more than one missing object in your collection. To identify all of these missing objects, right-click the node list in the Property Editor and select Select all missing objects.

To remove the missing objects from the collection, right-click and select Remove all missing objects.

Note: This menu only appears if there are missing objects in the collection.

Identify nodes filtered out by Collection Filters

Nodes may be missing from your collection because they have been filtered out.

For example, if you use the Custom filter to create a collection of shaders, but you set the filter type to include only blinn and lambert shaders, then all other shaders will be filtered out and will not be part of your collection.

Nodes that are filtered out are identified by a grey italicized font.

To remove the filtered out objects from the collection, right-click and select Remove all filtered-out objects.

You may have more than one filtered-out node in your collection. To identify all of these nodes, right-click the node list in the Property Editor and select Select all filtered-out objects.

Note: This menu only appears if there are filtered out objects in the collection.
