Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone understands how to control the transparency level. That is, you are given a slider which you figure would offer you some sort of control. Mine simply acts like an "on" "off" switch. Any comments?

As usual, Thanks in advance

In the basic rendering modes, it is transparent or not. use material rendering mode and you will have the finer control the slider suggests
 
Thanks Peterguy, I will try you suggestion
 
Peter is right, but you can also enable this behavior in all rendering modes by going to Tools > Options > General > Display > Performance > Transparency Quality > High (Alpha Blending). Just be aware that this will tax your graphics card (just as Material mode will).
