| Sep 30, 2020 at 23:42 | comment | added | Jordan Powers | I will check into this. It seems from what I've found that some operators may only be designed to work in certain windows. Maybe this will work though still. I did find that test_group = bpy.data.node_groups.new('testGroup', 'ShaderNodeTree') will create a custom node group no matter what view you're in but it doesn't create it from the selected nodes or anything just a generic group. This would work fine except I need to then append or insert the existing nodes of the active material into newly created group in order to have a group made from the active material's nodes. | |
