akscott Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'm using Chief 10.08 and am having trouble trying to change window appearance from transparent to opaque in a vector view. Basically I don't want to see into the house. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Like Eric said. I am NOT sure if you mean X10 or Ancient version 10 but attached is a screen capture from X10. I no longer have a working seat of version "10" circa the year 2,000 AD. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Back then I remember having to place additional internal walls across the windows, had to use 2 plan files 1 for the elevations and 1 for everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akscott Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 yep - I'm working with ancient version 10. XP operating system.... only one of my many saved plans has the transparent windows. I have tried 3D>3D settings>options>vector view options> check opaque glass from outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgardner Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Didn't use it back then but can you just change the window glass to white or gray instead of glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For such an ancient application I think Ryan's suggestion is the best you will find. I used versions 4-10 but my memory is not that good. My version 11 Or X1 will run only in XP x32 and currently my XP hard drive is not working. Try that and see if that does not "solve" your "problem" DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akscott Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 found the solution - in trying to alter the window frame size, I set it i "0" which might have removed the glass. After resetting to default size, the opaque windows reappeared. Thanks all for your suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
