saving presets

hi, I am trying to build a preset library, and when I save a mesh with overrides, either as a mesh preset or an assembly preset, the mesh saves, the overrides look present in the shader tree, but selecting them takes me to a schematic mess - am I doing something wrong? these are trees from globeplants, fbx files, they work great when I set them up manually, and the stencil effect is preseved in the preset, but the transmission adjustment is not saved - that is the only change I make.

and happy new year! just making trees on new years eve...

There are 2 methods for saving mesh presets, described here:
https://docs.otoy.com/ModoH/ModoPluginM ... rrides.htm

Unfortunately, I just realised this no longer works in 15.2+. Foundry has changed the way presets are saved, and it breaks saving Octane presets.

I'll let them know, but for now, you'll have to use 15.1 (or less) to save your Octane mesh presets

I have previously reported this issue to Foundry, and they replied that they would try to get a fix in Modo15.2v2.

Thanks
