can't see shaders in shader view

I'm new to the newer versions of houdini and am having trouble seeing shaders in the shader view. I've gotten the shaders to appear in a render, but when I go to tweak them in the shader view I can't get them to appear on the material? Any suggestions?

I find that feature completely useless. It seems to be some sort of OpenGL hybrid thing with messed up lighting.

This was a known bug in earlier releases of h11 when using the Material Surface Builder. Is largely fixed in 11.0.504 and above if i'm not mistaken. So an upgrade will fix your problem.

Using the surfaceShaderBuilder (old vopsurfaceshop) you will be able to see your shaders in the older releases.

Hope this helps,

Dave.
