Known limitation right now. The material type is a Verse interface which we cannot create instances of on the editor side. We’re working on it.

We will support mapping multiple materials to meshes in the future.

Glad you folks are listening to the feedback. I’ll be toying a lot with SG and providing as much feedback as I can.

PS [off-topic]: btw. I applied to the feedback program, but I’m not sure if I’ll be picked or not, I don’t have a public island, which is an unfortunate requirement. :upside_down_face:
