Whether to automatically set usage flags based on what the material is applied to in the editor.

Windows

MacOS

Linux

Syntax

uint8 bAutomaticallySetUsageInEditor: 1

Remarks

Whether to automatically set usage flags based on what the material is applied to in the editor. It can be useful to disable this on a base material with many instances, where adding another usage flag accidentally (eg bUsedWithSkeletalMeshes) can add a lot of shader permutations.
