Transparency of model surface

Transparency of model surface

Transparency of model surface

(OP)
I have a model, which has one surface which appears to have the surface set to a transparency of 0 (Zero).  I've selected the Partbody from the specification tree and set the transparency in properties to 255 (Full transparency), but the surface still won't show transparent.  I then selected the surface of the model and tried to change the transparency properties that way...no change.

I have made many transparency changes within the model...the model is set to full transparency and fluid passages are set to zero transparency for visibility purposes and initial design layout.

Has anyone seen this problem before?  If so, is there any way to correct the problem?

Have you Reset Properties yet?

RC over Partbody -  Object --> Reset Properties  Apply to Children.

RE: Transparency of model surface

Try to use the Graphic properties wizard... this should tell you what to change to 'see' the transparency...

Have fun
