4.1.2.6.2 Material Layer Set Usage

A material layer set may be defined on an object type. In this scenario, all occurrences of that type must use this layer set to parametrically define their geometry.

The usage may parametrically define an 'Axis' reference curve, and a direction, offset, and extent of the layers to extend along the axis. This allows layers to slope or only extend up to a particular height.

The following diagram shows the generic classes and relationships used when applying this concept. In addition, concepts may have particular importance to common or standardised industry practices and scenarios. For these specific usage scenarios, the tables below shows a recommended list of general usage patterns that users may adopt.
