RealView properties and custom material setup

[infraredowl]

I've developed a list of custom optical materials and I would like to use RealView to give the materials a realistic look while editing; I'd like them to reflect the ambient light as the "glass" material option in the default SW list does (Other non-metals -> glass). By editing the SW glass material, I see that "glass" is selected from the RealView drop down menu, so I assumed I would simply have to do the same in my custom matieral. However, it actually looks like the generic "glass fibers" in the SW list. And for some reason, upon re-editing the material "glass fiber" is selected in the RealView drop down list. What's going on?

1) Have you queried this with your VAR or SW?

2) What SP are you using?
