Hi folks!
What is the preferred solution to get rid of the duplicated ports? The only solution I’m thinking of is creating a passthrough node. Are there any other options? If not, which passtrough is the fastest?
Thank you!

You can hide a port actually by selecting it in the original frame and flagging it as Expose on Frame: false

Hello @deltakosh!
Thank you!
However I am curious whether this situation where I have two nodes with uv as input in my custom frame
can be solved somehow to avoid this:
Thanks!
Ok, but the point is that both receives the same value. Would this be an acceptable solution? Adding scale by 1 and copy pass the value to the inner nodes?
This way the duplicates were eliminated:
So is just about choosing between aesthetics in the node editor or faster shader code

In that case you can use a vector merger maybe? That could be interesting to create a duplication node (one input and 2 identical outputs)

Or better with any number of outputs
Unfortunately the system cannot generate ports on the fly
Than what about Copy2, Copy3 and Copy4 nodes? I think it should cover most of the needs.
well a simple Copy node then is enough (with 4 outputs)
