Material not displaying

[twdant]

Hello all,

I'm working on a dynamic component and I need it to output the material type to the CutList plugin. My component is made of two subcomponents. I have each child component "Material" attribute set as "=Parent!Material". When I paint the parent component with a particular material texture, it appears correct, but when I open the Dynamic Attributes tab, both child component output boxes are blank. When I display formulas, both boxes read "=Parent!Material". Consequently, when I run the CutList plugin, the two child components material specifications read "not assigned".

I want to make it where I only have to paint the parent component and have both child components be automatically assigned the same material. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for the help.

After the change of the material you do Redraw ?
