Interface

Change Material/Map Type
Opens the Material/Map Browser as a dialog so you can choose a different type for the material or map.

When you right-click a wire, this option always applies to the child node.

Make Node Unique
If the child node is instanced, Make Node Unique makes the child unique, but does not duplicate the children of the child.
Make Branch Unique
If the child node is instanced, Make Branch Unique makes the child unique, and duplicates the children of the child, as well.
