Model Transparency

[sudhishjoseph]

Hello,


I want to make a solid model with some color applied transparent.I checked in the help but thru View>Display Settings>visibilty color was only getting lighter.


Any clues will be of great help.


Thankyou,

view -> colour and appearance



then the "appeareance editor" opens up

in the properties window panel, select the advanced tab







then set the trasnparency

 

[pmack009]

after you getatrasnparency go to


view-> display settings->model display->shade tab->turn trasnparency to blended


then Your model will look cool

Make sure the graphic card could handle using Blended instead of Stippled. If you have a big assembly up using Blended with transparency the assy could bog down and possibly crash, it happened to me a few times.

Under View>Color and Appearance create a new material using the + icon on the right and then under Properties>Advanced (tab) slide the bar under Transparency from Opaque to Clear. That should create a material (with any color settings under the basic tab) that is now transparent. Make sure that the option under View>Display Settings>Model Display>Shade (tab)> the box under Enable for Transparency is checked.
