<p class=MsoNormal>In window 5 I want to create a laminated glazing system with
the following layers:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When I select 3 glass layers, the program defaults to air layers
for #2 and #4 above. Is there a way to change this to a clear PVB
Interlayer, and does this type of layer exist in a database?<o:p></o:p></p>
