3dsMax Material Z-bias Causes Exception

Post by chris1690maravi »

Good Day

When trying to set the Z bias number for ground textures, I get the following message:

unknown property: "text" in undefined

in a window that says MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception

Thanks in advanced

Hello,

It appears there is an issue with FSXMaterial.ms script. You can remedy the issue by hand modifying the file. It should be located in %%%SDK%%%\Modeling\3ds Max\Common\Scripts\Startup. You will want to remove the following lines of code starting at line 394:

on ZBias changed fNewVal do
(
lbl_ZBias2.text = fNewVal as string
)

You will then want to save FSXMaterial.ms and restart 3ds Max if it is running. Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The issue will be fixed in the next release.
