Datum Plane Display

Datum Plane Display

Datum Plane Display

(OP)
Hello,
I know how to disable the translucency of datum planes, but I would like to only adjust the translucency.  This would be handy when reviewing envelope violations, but the option is grayed out under Edit Item Display.  As it is, I just extrude a line coincident with the plane and use the resulting surface, but am hoping for a better way.
TIA!

RE: Datum Plane Display

The level of 'translucency' of Datum planes is NOT adjustable.  Your only choice is 'translucent' or fully 'transparent' (controlled under Preferences -> Visualization Performance...).  You can also edit the color of the 'translucency' but that's about it.

Thanks, John... that is what I thought.  At least it isn't a show stopper.
