Hi, dear Otoy team
The point is that when we assign Octane Material in a scene, it stops displaying the selection of guides or hair in Edit Guides.

Timing:
0:00 - Creating the plane
0:04 - Applying Furball
0:11 - Create Edit Guides on top of HFG
0:20 - Turn on Display Strand Selection
0:28 - Turn on Hide Guide Gizmo
0:30 - Check Selection and see that everything is working
0:37 - Activate Octane Renderer
0:45 - Check the selection and see that everything is okay.
0:50 - Try to assign Octane Hair Material
0:57 - We see that the selection has disappeared
1:12 - Assign any other Octane material and the selection still doesn't work
1:19 - Activate Arnold Render and assign Arnold Standard Hair
1:31 - Selection visible again
1:37 - Select Octane
1:42 - Selection works as long as the Arnold Shader is assigned
1:44 - Assign Octane Hair again and see that the selection has stopped working
Steps:
- Create plane
- Apply Furball
- Add EG Above HFG
- Turn on "Display Selection"
- Select a few hairs and you will see selection
- Select Octane Render
- Apply any Octane Render material and you will see that selection won't work
