Hi @NickelDealer !
From what I understand, you’re using UE 5.5, and your Landscape material isn’t loading right. The layers aren’t showing up, and when you click on them, nothing happens. This seems to be a pretty common problem in UE 5.5. I found three real cases that might help you figure it out:
-
Even if the material is applied, you won’t see anything in the Paint tab unless each layer has a Layer Info asset assigned.

This may also be part of a known bug in 5.5 where landscape layers break or don’t initialize correctly.

There’s also a clear YouTube tutorial that shows how to fix this when the layers are defined in the material but don’t appear in the editor
