Hi!
When a texture is inserted in layer opacity box (3dsmax 2010 x64 plugin) it cannot be removed. RMB > Clear doesn't work.

Glad this was spotted.
I was a work around by right click cut, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Is there some other work around ?
cheers

Maybe increasing brightness of the texture to 100% would work so it turns full white.

A workaround is to set it from Maxscript. Eg. Having the material on slot 1 in Material editor, open maxscript editor (F11) and execute this:
Code: Select allmeditMaterials[1].layers[1].mask = null

i noticed something weird when i tried working around this. i had created an mxm through mxed and imported it into max material slot. when i couldn't delete the alpha slot, i just opened up the mxed and made the adjustment to the material and saved. when i tried importing the mxm back into the same slot, it loads default material instead of the mxm (shows only one layer with default bsdf) also, when i do that, all the 2.0 mxm's in perspective shaded viewport go black. (direct x enabled, btw)
reseting the slot to maxwell material doesn't fix it. i have to reset to standard slot first, then reset to maxwell material slot. seems any slot gets hung up upon second import of mxm? anyone else experiencing this?
