<![CDATA[Hide port from input menu in the Node Editor]]>Is there a flag to hide a port from the input port menu in the Node Editor. We'd like to have the parameters displayed in the Attribute Manager, but there are some that are not linkable, thus it does not make sense to have them in the input port menu.

Maybe this is specific to Arnold, but there are shader parameters that are not linkable. It's a flag on the parameter. Typically, boolean and enum type parameters are not linkable, like the ones highlighted in the screenshot below. But could be any parameters really, depending on the shader code.

@peter_horvath said in Hide port from input menu in the Node Editor: We'd like to have the parameters displayed in the Attribute Manager, but there are some that are not linkable.

Can you show me an example of such a port in the AM? Because if its not linkable at all, maybe it can be considered as a bug. And it's something we would like to implement as well as a general feature.

Cheers,
Maxime.
