Hello, I am looking to create a custom attribute called “Finish” that controls the material attribute.
The process would be, the user would select from a list a material from the custom attribute “Finish.” The material attribute would then equal the custom attribute “Finish.” However I have added a custom material as a test called “MDF” and in my custom attribute list “Finish” I have a value also called “MDF” I get the error saying this is not in the model? How do I solve this?
Materials must be already loaded in the model, you could insert a collection of 1" or 10mm square samples within the component for it to reference. Otherwise create a palette of groups which the user can paint and the Dc reference
Another point, the DC may require a redraw to update, try right click menu, Dynamic Component, redraw. If this works, you can then trigger a redraw in the DC or set a short cut or script to do this
You can only use general names like ‘Green’ or ‘red’ , hexanumber (#203050) or the native ones from the standard library (not sure about the last)
If you wanna use your own, you must add them to the model (or as a swatch to the component,as described by @pcmoor)
