Not a popular suggestion, but if you read the manual regarding materials it will save you a lot of time in the end, instead of waiting for replies on the forum. You can search the pdf for abbe and how to use it. You write the ior value in the ND box. Also, more info about why it's called ND and how to approach the Maxwell material system: http://think.maxwellrender.com/how_to_c ... or-12.html
