Create an glass radiance modifier from a single transmittance.

## Inputs

* **name**

  Text to set the name for the modifier and to be incorporated into a unique modifier identifier. 
* **trans \[Required]**

  A number between 0 and 1 for the glass modifier transmittance. This transmittance will be the same for the red, green and blue channels. 
* **refract**

  Index of refraction. Typical values are 1.52 for float glass and 1.4 for ETFE. If None, Radiance will default to using 1.52 for glass (Default: None). 

## Outputs

* **modifier**

  A glass modifier that can be assigned to a Honeybee geometry or Modifier Sets.
