Choose glass from the materials list.

Again, pretty neat software. Thanks. It is in my bookmarks.

Only concern is it provides sag but not breaking strength.

IIRC, They do give you a "target sag" recommendation, which anything
over you would think would be bordering on failure for glass, which is
better than nothing. But it is the closest thing I could find that
answers Joe's question, if only partially.

I let my glass guy make the recommendation when I give him the shelf
template, or the dimensions I need and specify the use ... and most of
the time I end up with tempered glass in 1/4" thickness for china
cabinet shelf use.
