Definition

Reference to layers that comprise this construction. Multiple LayerId's order is important and specifies the layering of the layer's referenced materials. The first Surface/AdjacentSpaceId entered will determine how the referenced construction layers are ordered with the first construction layer being in contact with the outside or 2nd Surface/AdjacentSpaceId listed and the last layer in contact with the first Surface/AdjacentSpaceId listed
