To this list: image

On all the screens. It is also going to be included in Buoyancy:Basics, and it can affect Density.

I found on the internet that PVC density changes with the addition of different additives, but is normally between 1.44 and 1.48 g/cm3. Then in the simulation we can use 1.44 kg/L.

@DianaTavares please make sure this is as you desire

It works well!! But don't like the color. All the other materials in to explore look like the material (ice, etc), When I look for a block (and box) of PVC, something like this appears:

then I suggest it white, and the shining effect that the blocks like wood have:

I am going to close this issue and open a new one with all the color of the blocks that are a little strange for me.
