9.6.6.2. Controlling Transparency for Contact Regions

As shown below, you can graphically highlight an individual contact region.

The following demo is presented as an animated GIF. View online if you are reading the PDF version of the help. Interface names and other components shown in the demo may differ from those in the released product.

Select a contact region to highlight the bodies in that region.
Highlighting is due to internal transparency settings:
- Transparency is set to 0.8 for bodies in selected contact region.
- Transparency is set to 0.1 for bodies not in selected contact region(s).
- You can change the default transparency values in using the Connections settings of the Options dialog box.
You can disable the contact region highlighting feature in either the Details view of a contact group branch, or by accessing the context menu (right mouse click) on a contact region or contact group branch of the tree, and choosing Disable Transparency.
