why set material to ProceduralMeshComponent failed

my problem:“myMesh->SetMaterial(0, material);” seems to not work,myMesh always use the default material.You can see the result in the picture


Here’s my code:


// Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings.

#include "ProceduralMeshTest.h"
#include "MyActor.h"


// Sets default values
AMyActor::AMyActor()
{
 	// Set this actor to call Tick() every frame.  You can turn this off to improve performance if you don't need it.
	PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;

	USphereComponent* SphereComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<USphereComponent>(TEXT("RootComponent"));
	RootComponent = SphereComponent;

	myMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UProceduralMeshComponent>(TEXT("GeneratedMesh"));
	myMesh->SetMobility(EComponentMobility::Movable);
	/**
	*	Create/replace a section for this procedural mesh component.
	* @param	SectionIndex		Index of the section to create or replace.
	* @param	Vertices			Vertex buffer of all vertex positions to use for this mesh section.
	* @param	Triangles			Index buffer indicating which vertices make up each triangle. Length must be a multiple of 3.
	* @param	Normals				Optional array of normal vectors for each vertex. If supplied, must be same length as Vertices array.
	* @param	UV0					Optional array of texture co-ordinates for each vertex. If supplied, must be same length as Vertices array.
	* @param	VertexColors		Optional array of colors for each vertex. If supplied, must be same length as Vertices array.
	* @param	Tangents			Optional array of tangent vector for each vertex. If supplied, must be same length as Vertices array.
	* @param	bCreateCollision	Indicates whether collision should be created for this section. This adds significant cost.

	myMesh->CreateMeshSection(1, vertices, Triangles, TArray<FVector>(), UV0, TArray<FColor>(), TArray<FProcMeshTangent>(), false);

	// With default options
	//mesh->CreateMeshSection(1, vertices, Triangles, TArray<FVector>(), TArray<FVector2D>(), TArray<FColor>(), TArray<FProcMeshTangent>(), false);

	myMesh->AttachTo(RootComponent);

}

// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void AMyActor::BeginPlay()
{
	Super::BeginPlay();

	//FString MaterialAddress = "/Game/ArchVis/Materials/M_WallPainInterior_MAT_Inst.M_WallPainInterior_MAT_Inst";
	FString MaterialAddress = "Material'/Game/ArchVis/Materials/M_Carptet_Mat.M_Carptet_Mat'";
	UMaterial* material; 
	material = Cast<UMaterial>(StaticLoadObject(UMaterial::StaticClass(), nullptr, *MaterialAddress, nullptr, LOAD_None, nullptr));
	myMesh->SetMaterial(0, material);
}

// Called every frame
void AMyActor::Tick( float DeltaTime )
{
	Super::Tick( DeltaTime );

}


Finally,i know why.It’s too simple.Just change “myMesh->CreateMeshSection(1” to “myMesh->CreateMeshSection(0”
