Changing transparency of all parts in ass'y?
Changing transparency of all parts in ass'y?
(OP)
Only noticed this as I came to render something the other day: working in SW 2008, a couple of components in my assembly are transparent. 'No problem', I thought, so I right click to change to opaque, but the option is already un-selected. Odd. Go to the tree, check down the list and all appear opaque, yet the part is transparent in the display?!
Is there a command to make all opaque or have I done something else wrong?

Is the part set to transparent at the part level?

2. Doesn't seem to be.
Furthermore, as an experiment I just selected another part in the tree, clicked transparent, hit esc to deselect it and it was transparent. I then picked the same part again from the tree, click transparent and it doesn't change back?! Not had an issue with this one before!

However, it sounds like the parts have been made transparent at the part level, so you will probably have to open each individual part, change to opaque, and save.

Still no idea why it didn't just make the part opaque when I clicked the button though?!
Thanks guys!
