Can't see shader in attribute editor

[youdit_e]

Hi,

My problem is the following: 

I put a shader on my object and it won't show up in the attribute editor. Not just the new shader, any shader. When I right click and go to material attributes, it shows the shader correctly, but only the shader, and it shows up in hypershader too. An ideas what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

1. Check Show (filter) settings of Attribute Editor.

2. Try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2018 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2018 to 2018_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:

It was the Show setting of the Attribute Editor. Thanks!
