iLogic material update

[m_hermann]

Hi,

i use this code in a small form:

MultiValue.List("Material")=iProperties.Materials'
iProperties.Material=Material
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Material")=Material

that works fine, the material change is correct.

But if i change the material from the apperentice browser my iLogic form displays only the material from fxParameter, means

there is no update.

How can I fix this?

thx

Hi, thank's for your answer
no, this line is needed, nothing works without that only the material browser is not beeing updated and if i Change am material from the browser, my ilogic has the 'old' material

With your rule it's the user parameter who control your material, what do you want to make?

do you add a event triggers of your rule if material change?

[m_hermann]

Hi,

yes i added triggers. I attached the document and a document with screenshots.

If i change the material from browser, my iLogic displays the former material. I think i need to update the fxParameter but how?

(sorry for my bad english)

MultiValue.List("Material") = iProperties.Materials
MyMaterial = Material
iProperties.Value("Custom", "Material") = MyMaterial
iProperties.Material = MyMaterial
iLogicVb.UpdateWhenDone = True

Hi,

thx for your quick help. That works not bad but:

now i'm only able to change the material from my iLogic or fxParameter. Not in phys. Property and not in

Material browser.

How can i fix it that i can change the material everywhere?

add Material rule to the event triggers "Any Model Parameter Change"

For what do you use a form???

[m_hermann]

I know what you  mean, do it in this way or do it in the other way but not mix it !?

We use the form to make all necessary iProperty inputs (20) and change the material in one way. In the form we display also the

weight, so we change the material if we get the correct weight.

When the input is done sometimes it happens that someone has to change the material without the form (its faster), or we have to

control the physiks, so we change the material in the iProperty.
