Diffuse Overlay Color looses it's map channel

Scavenger

My diffuse overlay color has lost it's map channel. (pic 1)

It had it.  I copy pasted surface settings from another surface to it (which has it ...pic 2)..it vanishes.

I change the surface to something else, it comes back...I go back to the surface I want (pic 1)...it goes away again.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Did the other surface you copy from have the UberIray shader?

Scavenger

Yes. both have iray uber.

should be no difference, and in all variations, but this one, they're the same.

I'm not at my D|S computer to check this out; but, what do you get when you click the "down" arrow beside the Diffuse Overlay Weight? I'm thinking there's an "add map" or some-such.

Scavenger

Well, changing the surfae to daz default (3DL), then hitting it with Uber iray, then pasting the desired settings and everything was fine.
