Surface Settings Default

Hi,

I accidentally changed the Surface Settings for 'Glass: Clear Fast' and need to reset it to the default. Is there a way to do this in the program (AC21) or is there a list for all of the surfaces somewhere?

Thanks in advance -

In the surface settings with Cinerender engine set, select the surface then 'NEW' and "Replace Settings from Catalogue'.
Search for the 'Glass Clear Fast' in your surface catalogue.

If that doesn't work then you can use the Attribute Manager to overwrite from another file that has this surface.
