Good morning guys,
Did you change the behaviour of "nested generator material ID inheritance" with RC5? I didn't notice (or missed) that within changelog. Today I opened up my previous work (made with RC4) and all material ID's messed up... Huge mess... I checked everything one by one but couldn't find any error. Anyway, at the end I created a simple setup and yes, there is no sense to change mat ID before a nested generator because it's getting resetted afterwards. Am I missing something?
Also my problem still continues on this thread. I still can't update my RC. Is it related with that?

By the way I really liked the "nested generator material ID inheritance". Sounds like an important technical thing that we don't understand.
Kind Regards

In RailClone 5, the ID list is now a text input so that you can create a comma-separated list of IDs, or define a range, or both.
So, there have been some changes but I don`t think there was a change in nested behavior (although RC4 is a distant past for me at the moment to compare :D)
What seems to be a problem?
Did you use MatID for some size calculations? This could be an issue if you change Units setup.

Hi Dragan,
Thank you for your reply.
Actually I'm using user input for Mat ID (not a fixed list). I have a multi-sub object material with many colors, so user can choose between wide range of selections.
Now I tested a random library setup. Could you please test this also?

Normally everything works great. You can choose material from parameters.
But... If you add a new generator at the end and connect previous generator into any slot accordingly, material selecting feature is gone. Because material ID selections prior to final generator is resetted.
Is it a bug or is it a feature? :D

As a separate question, where do I enter that comma-separated ID list?
Thank you!

Hi Adnan and Dragan,
I think I can reproduce this issue as shown in GIF below

I'll pass this on to our development team for further investigation. Thanks for reporting it.

I dont have 3dsmax at the moment.
Did you include the name of the final generator if you use the expression?

Hi Paul,
Thank you, that thing is simple but an important problem. All my styles messed up badly. I wish we have a quick fix.
Also thank you too Dragan. I didn't use any specific expression which may affect this. You may also see that Paul reproduced it.

Hi Adnan,
We are working on a fix - could you let us know which version of Max you are using so that we can send you a patch you can use until an official release is available?
Kindest regards,
Paul

Oh that's a great news for me. Really thank you!
My Max version is 2022.3
RC version is 5.0.6 and I can't upgrade to 5.0.9
Best Regards!

I just sent you a custom patch by e-mail. To install it:
- Be sure Max, VRaySpawner, etc are closed.
- Unzip the file and copy the content of 'max2022' in the Max root folder, overwriting the existing files.
In you case, because the issue mentioned in the other post, i suggest to delete previously the RC files: RailCloneVRay50.dll, RCEdit.dll and plugins/railclonepro.dlo.
If you can delete and copy these files, RailClone should be updated. These are the only files loaded by Max.
