Setting the Default Transparency of Objects

  1. Using the menu bar, click Tools> Options> General Options, or, from the Desktop ribbon tab, click General Options dialog. General Options.
  2. In the tree at the left side of the Options dialog box, select 3D Modeler> Display> Rendering.
  3. In the Object Appearance section, click and drag the Default Transparency slider. Move the slider to the right to increase the default object transparency. Move the slider to the left to decrease the default object transparency. Or, type a decimal number between 0 and 1 (inclusive) in the box to the right of the slider.

    Any objects you draw after this point will be assigned the default transparency you specified. However, if the Material Appearance option is selected within the Attributes tab of the object properties, material color and transparency assignments will override the default assignments.

    Alternatively, select Use material appearance if available within the Options dialog box to use the material color and transparency values by default (when they exist).
