The Maximum Layers control determines the maximum number of inflation layers to be created in the mesh. Valid values are from 1 to 1000. The default is 5 for solid bodies and 2 for surface bodies.

If you set a different number of maximum layers on adjacent regions, stair stepping will be used between the regions.

The Maximum Layers control is applicable only when Inflation Option is Smooth Transition, First Layer Thickness, First Aspect Ratio, or Last Aspect Ratio.
