Class: SceneObject Properties

Reads or writes how the 3D object reacts to light. Materials only appear in lighted scenes.

Values

0	Inherit Material—The object inherits the color mode of a parent object.
1	Use entire Material—The emissive color of the material and its ambient, diffuse, and specular reflectance values all affect the reaction of the material to a light source.
2	Ignore Ambient—LabVIEW ignores the ambient color and uses the base color of the object in its place.
3	Ignore Diffuse—LabVIEW ignores the diffuse color and uses the base color of the object in its place.
4	Ignore Specular—LabVIEW ignores the specular color and uses the base color of the object in its place.
5	Ignore Emission—LabVIEW ignores the emissive color and uses the base color of the object in its place.
6	Ignore Ambient and Diffuse—LabVIEW ignores the ambient and diffuse colors and uses the base color of the object in their place.
