11.   We now need to create a material parameter for our louvre so we're not stuck with default grey. Click Add... in the parameters menu as seen above and give your material a name (I called it Mat1) then choose the type of parameter you wish to add
from the drop down menu. Select Material and Type. Now click OK.

In my case Mat1.
