The PlyStackPlotOptions object stores values and attributes associated with aViewport object. The PlyStackPlotOptions object has no constructor command. Abaqus creates the detailPlotOptions.plyStackPlotPlotOptions member whenever a Viewport is created.
session.viewports[name].detailPlotOptions.plyStackPlotOptions
This method modifies the PlyStackPlotOptions object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
A SymbolicConstant specifying how the plies in the viewport are rendered. Possible values are WIRE_FRAME, FILLED, and SHADED. The default value is SHADED.
A Boolean specifying whether to draw the edges for the plies. The default value is OFF.

A Boolean specifying whether to set translucency. The default value is OFF.
A Float specifying the translucency factor when translucency=ON. Possible values are 0.0
translucencyFactor
A Boolean specifying whether to use depth sorting. The default value is OFF.
A Boolean specifying whether to show the reference outline. The default value is OFF.
A String specifying the reference outline color. The default value is "Red".
