Hello,
I'm trying to set up an animation of a device with a display window with decoration (IMD). It has a 80% transparent visible area and 100% opaque black around it with some white text. Almost exactly the same as mobile phone display windows.
Now I want the part to go entirely transparent until it disappears and then a few seconds later have it go from invisible to it's normal state. when I try this in animation in WF2 with 'transparency at time' it always messes up the part by making it completely opaque instead of returning to opaque decoration with a (80%) transparent inner area. Playing around with the switch to have the transparency dependant/independant of the part's surfaces propierties doesn't solve the problem. Also weird is that having this kind of transparency setting actually changes the colour of the component in the assembly. To get the original state back I must delete the component colour in the assembly.
I'm wondering if it possible at all in ProE to have parts with partial transparency go into full transparency and back to it's original state?
To me the animation application looks like in beta stage at most as it's full of bugs and weird user-unfriendly menus and 'features'.
