Expand and collapse assets

Nodes encapsulated in an asset appear in a translucent box (for more information see Parts of an Asset). You can display or hide the contents of these asset nodes by expanding or collapsing the asset.

Attribute connections in or out of the node remain visible regardless of whether a node is expanded or collapsed.

To expand an asset

Double-click a collapsed asset node in the Hypergraph Connections editor or Hypershade.

Select a collapsed asset node in the Hypergraph Connections editor.
Select Edit > Asset > Expand Asset.

Select an asset in the Hypershade and click the Expand Asset icon .
