• Hello L1,
  .
  This is an user error.
  .
  The GetMaterialOnProduct function has to be
  called with a Product. In the given script it was
  called on the CATIA.ActiveDocument which causes a
  type mismatch.
  The model is made of a material applied on a
  Part. So you have to call the right function on it
  : GetMaterialOnPart and not GetMaterialOnProduct.
  So you also need to change the support on which
  you want to retrieve the material to
  CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part.
  .
  Please find the below modified script:
  Sub CATMain()
  Set oManager =
  CATIA.ActiveDocument.Product.GetItem
  ("CATMatManagerVBExt")
  Set oProduct = CATIA.ActiveDocument.Part
  Dim oAppliedMaterial
  oManager.GetMaterialOnPart oProduct,
  oAppliedMaterial
  msgbox oAppliedMaterial.Name & ":" &
  typename(oAppliedMaterial)
  End Sub
