Attribute In Effective Material Clauses

Matthiessen (1995: 243):
Effective material clauses may have an Attribute, either expressing the result of the occurrence of the process or a condition for its occurrence: They painted the house green; he was shot dead; cut the potatoes into cubes; serve the dish hot.

Trivially, into cubes is a circumstance of Role: product (Halliday 1994: 157), not a resultative Attribute.
