Layered Materials

In Renga layered materials can be applied to walls, floors and roofs.

When selecting a layered material of the wall, floor or roof, you can create a new layered material if there is no suitable one in the suggested list. Select the Other option in the list of the layered materials.

In addition, to create and edit layered materials of walls, floors and roofs, a command may use Manage Styles - Layered material.

2. Create a new material by clicking the New layered material button.
3. Set the new material name.
4. In the right-hand part of the window, select a material for the basic layer, create new layers and set their parameters.
5. On the Properties tab, you may set values of properties, created in the Object properties editor.
