Hi!

Is there a way to view instances of subnets in the viewport? Mantra renders the instances fine (Redshift unfortunately doesn't) but I can't see them in the viewport.

This is on 16.0.671, attached is a simple scene.

Thanks!

You can drop down an attribute wrangle and specify the s@instgance attribute for the viewport.

Well that's the same as setting the instance object directly to the box inside the subnet, no? This was a simple test, a real life scenario would be a subnet or digital asset with hundreds of nodes. Is this really not possible?

Instancing of object subnets isn't currently supported. It isn't terribly difficult to add, though.
