Which is a must-do before generating the attribute table

I have filled out the frame structure completely and I have filled out the animation controller.

But GetAttributeTable gives me 0 as the number of attributes from m_pMesh2?

pOrigMesh is the mesh who is loaded from assimp.

I use the D3DXCreateMesh method to do it...

Filling out with vertexes, indices, textures, materials

I also filled out the skininfo,

I just retrieve all the skininfo from assimp

and use

D3DXCreateSkinInfo....

Any ideas why the attribute table has no attributes/or basically no attribute table at all?

Thanks
