Beta Plugin 3.2.2 — disabled attributes?

Is it just my local error or the global material attributes sheet has permanently disabled Material ID and Global Bump Mapping?

Maya 2016 SP2, Mac OS X 10.10.5

It's a bug, it will be fixed in the next update. Thanks for spotting it.

May I ask you, maybe you can suggest a temporary fix, a MEL/Python command that will unlock these attributes? I assume they work but are locked in Maya interface?

Thank you.

Please download AEmaxwellLayeredMaterialTemplate.mel from here and place it in the Maya AE scripts directory, overwriting the existing version. On Windows, the path is c:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2016\scripts\AETemplates, while on OSX it's /Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2016/scripts. (Change the version number in the path if you're using an earlier version). You will need to restart Maya after this, and the problem should be fixed.
