Hello @mikeudin ,

Thank you for reaching out to us. This question of yours did deviate too far from the subject of TOPIC. Due to that, your posting has been forked. Note that our Forum Guidelines state:

A topic must cover a singular subject; the initial posting must be a singular question.

Users can ask follow-up questions, asking for clarification or alternative approaches, but follow-up questions cannot change the subject.

When the subject of the topic is "How to create a cube object?", then a follow-up question cannot be "How to add a material to that cube?" as this would change the subject.

A valid follow-up question would be "Are there other ways to create a cube object, as the proposed solution has the drawback X for my use-case?" or "Could you please clarify the thing Y you did mention in your answer, as this is still unclear to me?".

There is some leverage-room for this rule, but it is rather small. Small changes in the subject are allowed, large changes are not.

Please try to follow these rules in the future. It is certainly no catastrophe when users violate these from time to time, as it can be tricky to decide when something is on-topic or not. But we must enforce this rule to a reasonable degree, so that the forum remains a searchable knowledge base.

About your Question

Aside from the off-topic nature of your posting, we cannot accept references to other threads with the statement "I have the same problem" because that is an ambiguous question, or more precisely not a question at all.

Please describe your specific problem in a sentence or two and share code of where and how you are dealing with default parameters.

Cheers,
Ferdinand
