Solutions for editing Chaos Cosmos components

Not feeling super optimistic but I thought I’d give it a try- does anyone know how to edit one of the new components on the Chaos / Cosmos material library? I edited the component but when I rendered it, the original form was still there (I removed the headboard, the scale I applied stayed). I tried exploding it but lost all of the detail.

Any ideas would be much appreciated, thanks!

I’m trying to do the same thing as you! want to use the mattress on different beds. Did you ever find a solution?

Unfortunately it’s not possible. I ended up finding a similar bed and applied Chaos materials. It wasn’t the same but was good enough.

From memory : Select the cosmos asset once you’ve placed it - in the geometry section, right click and choose merge.

This breaks all the materials and IES lights out of it so you can change them or use them elsewhere in your model.

It’s really handy if you need a specific material and you can see a cosmos asset with it

Merging does not allow for an object to be deleted completely. It still appears in the render, despite not being visible in the drawing. I need to edit the proxy mesh but cannot figure out how to open that file.
