Joe_Carrick Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I like to have my bathroom tile walls show thru the glass shower door/wall. I can't seem to get that to work even though the material of the glass shower wall is transparent. I make the glass wall as a solid railing, no room definition, 6' tall, and insert a slab door (3/8" thick tempered glass). It works perfectly in perspective views, but in room elevations the wall beyond the glass wall isn't visible. What am I missing? I'm pretty sure I had done this successfully before.

BryceEngstrom Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Isn't there a checkbox somewhere for Opaque Glass in Vector Views or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 That was my first thought also. It's in the 3D View Defaults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 That setting only works for exterior elevations. I guess I need to report it as a bug to support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 This has never been able to be done for things like showers in any version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelbuilding Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 lol, make it glass, Standard works perfectly. Mine was a poly line changed to glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Don't use a room wall material as the inside of the glass also get painted with that material, always has, use a wall material region instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a poly line changed to glass Of course it works in a perspective - I alread said that. What doesn't work is a Vector Room Wall Elevation.

Perry, I've know that for a long time. This is really about the fact that Glass isn't transparent in Vector View Wall Elevations except when it's in a part of window or door. If we can have the glass in Doors and Windows not be opaque, why not other glass objects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 yep I am see the same thing as Joe...in Vector View Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 If the glass wall is checked off as 'no room definition', you can use the delete the surface tool in vector view before sending to layout. Whatever is behind the glass wall will now show up in layout where it previoulsy did not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Val, I found that in fact it can be done later and the Laout simply updated when the elevation is closed. I still think this should be an automatic.

DRAWZILLA Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yes there is a bug, when you uncheck "Obscure glass in vector views" in the 3d DBX ,it should do it. It works for glass doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
