You can use the Veneer Sheen option in the Finishes Editor to specify the sheen for your veneers. The sheen is the amount of shine that the veneer has. Currently there are two Veneer Sheen options in the Finishes Editor:

•Low Sheen

•Satin

 

Low Sheen is now the standard Veneer Sheen option. However, the standard Veneer Sheen option for old standard veneers was Satin. Some new standard veneers do not have the Satin option available. The Veneer Sheen option only becomes active if both sheen options are available. If only the Low Sheen option is available, you can see Veneer Sheen in the Properties Editor, but the menu remains inactive and grayed out.

Caution: If you choose the Satin Veneer Sheen option, and then change to a veneer that only has the Low Sheen option, the Properties Editor displays Tension, indicating that Low Sheen is the only valid option for your newly selected veneer.
