Hi Greg
The UI needs to be a "Frame" because there is no way to determine if a "Palette" is visible, but a plugin can determine if a "Frame" is visible (and this is needed for the auto-display of the Octane material/schematic when you select an Octane Override). Also, some of the node (in the schematic) creation code will only run if the Schematic palette is open, and there is no way to determine if it is open - so it needs to be parts of the Setup frame (which it CAN determine if it is open or not).
Hope that makes sense.
Paul
