Parameters:

layer_namestr: Layer name.
elevationfloat: Layer elevation.
materialstr: Material for the layer.
gds_typeint: GDS type assigned on the layer. The value must be the same as in the GDS file otherwise geometries won’t be imported.
target_layerstr: Layer name assigned in EDB or HFSS 3D layout after import.
