one side of a sheet body transparent

one side of a sheet body transparent

(OP)
does anyone knows how to sort my prob:
I installed NX4 on a new machine and since, all sheet bodies, when object display is set with 0% transluency, come with one face invisible. I guess I must have a setting wrong and played with the visualization preferences but couln't manage to find a solution.
note that when I set transluency to 1%, the invisible side reappears...
thanks!!

RE: one side of a sheet body transparent

Shade your model, then open the Visualization Preferences dialog (Preferences -> Visualization) and under the Visual tab, make sure Two-Sided Light is checked and see if that helps any.

As long as it hasn't changed since NX2, try going to Preferences-->Visualization Performance and under the General Settings tab, make sure Backface Culling is UNCHECKED.  I tried checking it and got the same results on sheet bodies as you are getting.

Good Luck!
