Cutout Properties

View and define properties for material cutouts on the Appearances tab in the Material Editor panel of the Material Browser.

Legacy assets (and the materials that use them) are marked with the icon. This topic describes properties for a legacy appearance asset, which uses an older rendering shader. If the current appearance asset does not display the icon, see Appearance Asset Properties for information about its properties.
