Not sure if its version specific, or just something that cant be done in general… but I consider it a bug nontheless. If I have shared nodes in cascade (shift \> drag) I am unable to set lod settings for them, since the rightclick \> duplicate/share from higher is not available.

Oh, interesting update. If the LOD’s are made before a node is shared, I can alter them. If the LOD’s are made AFTER a node is shared, I cannot alter them. so yea, its def. a bug! ---

ok, I recorded a video… because its a bit more convoluted than I innitially thought. [![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/5/0/d/50dbdcab856aa9a621d5dc5e5c168170bf9703aa.jpeg "[UE4] Cascade LOD bug") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjGyX-DP7Hc) ^also easy to replicate. ---

Hi Luos - I have reported the issue as UE-23904. I know this particular issue has been around for a while and you have discovered the workaround, but I will keep you informed as we investigate a solution. Thank You Eric Ketchum
