I am trying to design a cabinet with mirrors. It seems that there is no mirror in the glass materials for visualization. Is there a way to change the material to mirror?

Hi,

At the moment you cannot change them to mirror, however polished metals might do the trick, e.g. polished steel is very mirror-like.

Maybe can put a thin clear glass on polished steel instead.
