Hi Stefan,

the problem is causing the "renderer" settings  Go to "render option" and choose as your renderer "Mental Ray" and the problem should go away, hopefully . Hope it helps.

edit: The second thing can be, that your Max dont "own" Arch&Design materials, what version you have?

thanks for answer.
my renderer is mental ray
i have 3d's max 2009.

oukey, so, still the problem present?

Its anyway strange, it should be compatible at all level :S

[admin]

So,

i did a small "google" search for this issue and found out that the library from 3DsMax 2012 is not compatible with older 3DsMax, what the ****  . I dont know why they cant do back-compatibility scripts there but i will try to re-save it somehow.

would be great

Huh, iam sorry Stefan but i cant save it to 2009. I was one day away from home and was trying to read more about this problem, but nothing :S It looks like the 2009 is specific, because i cant even save to it, just for 2010 and 2011. The only solution is to get the new version of Max :S

sorry man
