Properties
  NameDescription

Public propertyFresnelIndexOfRefraction
Gets or sets the Fresnel index of refraction of the material, default is 1.56
Public propertyFresnelReflections
Gets or sets if Fresnel reflections are used.
Public propertyHasId
Returns a value indicating whether the component has an ID.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyHasIndex
Returns a value indicating whether the component has an Index.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyHasName
Returns a value indicating whether the component has a Name.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyHasUserData
Gets true if this class has any custom information attached to it through UserData.
(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public propertyId
Gets or sets the ID of the current instance.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyIdIsLocked
Returns a value indicating whether the component ID is already locked.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyIndex
Gets or sets the model component index attribute.

Public propertyIndexIsLocked
Returns a value indicating whether the component Index is already locked.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyIndexOfRefraction
Gets or sets the index of refraction of the material, generally >= 1.0 (speed of light in vacuum)/(speed of light in material)
Public propertyInstanceDefinitionModelSerialNumber
When a component is in a model as part of the information required for a linked instance definition, this value identifies the linked instance definition reference model.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyIsComponentStatusLocked
The component status itself can be locked. This returns an indication.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyIsDefaultMaterial
By default Rhino layers and objects are assigned the default rendering material.
Public propertyIsDeleted
Deleted materials are kept in the runtime material table so that undo will work with materials. Call IsDeleted to determine to determine if a material is deleted.
(Overrides ModelComponentIsDeleted.)
Public propertyIsDocumentControlled
If true this object may not be modified. Any properties or functions that attempt to modify this object when it is set to "IsReadOnly" will throw a NotSupportedException.
(Overrides CommonObjectIsDocumentControlled.)
Public propertyIsPhysicallyBased
Public propertyIsReference
Rhino allows multiple files to be viewed simultaneously. Materials in the document are "normal" or "reference". Reference materials are not saved.
(Overrides ModelComponentIsReference.)
Public propertyIsSystemComponent
True if this model component is a system constant.

An incomplete list of system constant model components is below:

  • ON_ModelComponent::Unset

  • ON_InstanceDefinition::Empty

  • ON_Linetype::Unset
  • ON_Linetype::Continuous
  • ON_Linetype::ByLayer

(Inherited from CommonObject.)
Public propertyStatic memberMaxShine
Public propertyModelSerialNumber
A value identifying the model that manages this component.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyName (Overrides ModelComponentName.)
Public propertyNameIsLocked
Returns a value indicating whether the component Name is already locked.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyPhysicallyBased
Public propertyPreviewColor
Very simple preview color function for GUIs.
Public propertyRDKMaterialID
Gets the RDK material ID.
Public propertyReferenceModelSerialNumber
When a component is in a model for reference, this value identifies the reference model.
(Inherited from ModelComponent.)
Public propertyReflectionColor
Public propertyReflectionGlossiness
Gets or sets the reflection glossiness.
Public propertyReflectivity
Gets or sets how reflective a material is, 0f is no reflection 1f is 100% reflective.
Public propertyRefractionGlossiness
Gets or sets the refraction glossiness.
