  • can't re-set material slots in material editor

    Im on Max 2011 with sp1 and the latest hotfix installed, working with vray 1.5 sp5. When i try to re-set mu material editor (compact not slate) i get the folllowing error message

    " Runtime error: cannot assign undefined to material editor slots"

    and a Macro_media utilities window opens with the following script


    macroScript clear_medit_slots
    enabledIn:#("MAX", "VIZ")
    category:"Medit Tools"
    internalCategory:"Medit Tools"
    ButtonText:"Reset Material Editor Slots"
    tooltip:"Reset Material Editor Slots"
    (


    on execute do
    (
    defaultMtlLibFile = MeditUtilities.getDefaultLibraryFile()
    if defaultMtlLibFile != undefined do
    (
    defaultMtlLib = loadTempMaterialLibrary defaultMtlLibFile
    global _meditMaterialsBeforeReset = #()
    for i in 1 to meditMaterials.count do
    (
    append _meditMaterialsBeforeReset meditMaterials[i]
    if i <= defaultMtlLib.count then
    meditMaterials[i] = defaultMtlLib[i]
    else
    meditMaterials[i] = defaultMtlLib[defaultMtlLib.count]


    I'm not a scripter but it seems that there is no material defined to place into the slots on re-set. I've recently had a problem with my material editor not giving me acess to slate as i had loaded up my 2010 menus into 2011 but i've since re-installed max and vray and am still getting this, can anyone help?
