GDL - Parameter names not matching custom settings listing.

Hi all,

How do you change the name of parameters listed under an objects custom settings? Within the GDL string, I set the name to "Frame Material" yet it lists it under the objects custom settings as the default "Surface 1".



Regards,

Ling

I think you are showing two totally different objects in your image.
The parameter list has a 'Title' parameter called "Materials".
However in you custom settings there is no such title.
So I think you may be trying to edit the wrong object.

Found the issue. There were two "Material" categories within the parameters... Same string, different name...
