How to set Reflectance Channel layer order

Hi,

Quick question as I'm new to the Python SDK: When I add a new layer to the Reflectance Channel using material.AddReflectionLayer(), it gets inserted at the top of the stack. How would I go about moving this layer to the bottom (or an arbitrary position) of the layer stack?

Couldn't find anything helpful in the docs, unfortunately.

Hi,

welcome to the Plugin Cafe forums :)

Unfortunately no good news for you. Neither the C++ nor the Python SDK provide means to achieve this. Sorry!

Thanks for the quick reply.

That's an unfortunate oversight. Would be a nice addition to the API.

I forgot to mention, I'll forward this as an idea to our development.

Seems like you could pop out all layers, order them as you like, and then reinsert them?

Yeah, as far as I can tell that's the only option for now. I don't want to destroy the user's existing layer setup, so it means keeping track of whatever layers the user has already has in each Reflectance Channel. Quite a pain.
