Hi,

The result of the REQUEST command is the number of successfully retrieved values (integer). The name of the material will be in the variable name in your example.
This request expects a material index, unquote ”MaterialAttribute_1″.
In define style use quotes: DEFINE STYLE “text” “arial”, 3, 5, 1

_nResult = REQUEST (“Name_of_material”, MaterialAttribute_1, _nomcolor)

DEFINE STYLE “text” “arial”, 3, 5, 1
STYLE “text”
if _nResult then
text2 A/2,B/1.5, _nomcolor
else
text2 A/2,B/1.5, “undefined”
endif
