Blend Mtl checker box not able to bring up the Create Render Node window

Hi,

I am on Windows XP 64bit using Maya 2011 with the Jun 14 adv build.
In an new empty scene, I create a cube and assign the Vray Blend Mtl to it, as I click the checker box next to the Base Material slot, nothing happen next and the following message shown in the script editor. Same error appears when I click the checker box of Coat Materials.

select -r VRayBlendMtl1 ;
createRenderNode -shaders "defaultNavigation -force true -connectToExisting -source %node -destination VRayBlendMtl1.base_material" "";
// Error: menuItem: Object 'shadingGroupCheckBox' not found. //
vrayShaderConnectionDefaultTraversal VRayBlendMtl1.base_material;

The checker box next to the Blend Amount of Coat Material does work though.

Is this a bug or user error ( I am new to Vray)?

Yep, this is a problem with one of the standard Maya 2011 scripts, which worked fine in previous Maya versions. We have implemented a work-around for newer builds of V-Ray, but in the meantime it will work if you open the Create Render Node window in some other way (e.g. clik on blend amount first, and then on the material).

Best regards,
Vlado
