This page provides information about the Two Sided material in V-Ray for Revit.
## **Overview**
---
### **Common Use Examples**
---
## **Parameters**
---
---
### **Example: Front Material**
In this example, the lampshade uses a Two Sided material with only a Front material connected (Generic material). A V-Ray sphere light is used to illuminate the inside. Translucency is shown here with grayscale values (RGB).
---
### **Example: Back Material**
In this example, the leaves have both front and back materials connected to the Two Sided Material. Notice how the leaves change when the Translucency value (shown in RGB) is changed. The last render uses a Translucency grayscale map.

## **Notes**
---
- This material gives best results when assigned to plane surfaces, i.e. surfaces with no thickness. Given that all native Revit geometries have thickness, it's recommended to use this material in combination with V-Ray or Cosmos geometry (for example, proxy exported from other host apps).
- The Two Sided material can be made visible only from one side by having its **Front material** slot empty and the** Back material** slot filled in.
