Question

Hello,
I’m new and I’ve been trying to find a solution for this, but couldn’t find anything to help.

I’m trying to make a multi scene UI with a TextureRect as background.
When i run the application i can see the Background Texture just fine, but in the editor the place where the TextureRect is, looks empty.

I have the Control Node where I load the different scenes. The scenes are 2D Nodes. They each have a background (TextureRect) and some buttons.

How do i make it so i can see the Texture of the TextureRect while in the editor?
There are some buttons that i want to place on specific areas of the background.

Thank you.

The TextureRect is a Control node. If you want to make it a child of Node2D, you need a CanvasLayer to create a new viewport like this:

Then you can set pivot and other properties of TextureRect in the new viewport.
