How does the app deside when exporting to usdz?:  
Shiny vs Matt?  
Plastic vs metalic?  
And also Transparent doesn´t work?

Is it possible to add sliders for this? It doesn´t have to show in the design mode, but If it could be possible to affect the finnished USDZ, that would be kinda nice.

Other than that I really love this feature. Even without controll over metalic, shiny and transparent…🙂

We don’t set any material properties at the moment, we just go with the default settings. In the future we may have a more sophisticated material editor.
