Hi Andy,
I think your roughness and absorption input labels are switched in this
widget. This is a nice little tool - thanks!

Hi Valeria,
Trans is a quick and easy way to model this type of glazing.
You can use this widget to generate a trans material definition by
entering your transmission and reflection parameters:
http://gaia.lbl.gov/people/andy/public/transwidget/However trans does not account for Fresnel effects that reduce
transmission of glass at non-normal incidence angles (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Amptitude_Ratios_air_to_glass.JPG\). So
treat trans results with some degree of caution.If you want to include fresnell effects and diffusion, you might consider
use a glass surface and a trans surface one in front of the other. Or you
could generate a BSDF and use the new BSDF material.Hope this helps,

obtained effect is a uniform and diffuse light transmittance. The only
technical data that I have are: 30% of direct visible transmittance and
15% of diffuse visible transmittance. I think I should model it with
"trans" material, but I don't know which parameters I have to use. Does
anybody has an idea?
