TyDesign Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I have been trying to figure out how to have a transparent screen material that is transparent in Vector/Elevation view. Screen material is being shown correctly in the Standard Full Camera view. Any help would be appreciated! Both views are attached to this post.

SNestor Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 What screen material are you using. You can probably use the "rainbow" tool to edit the material to make it more transparent. I created my screen material from the "glass block" material in Chief...and adjusted the material definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyDesign Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 @SNestor I'm not having the issue in the 3D camera view. This is more for the Elevation/Vector view cameras. My work around has been drawing CAD boxes while adding a grid pattern and changing the transparency, in place of the screen. I'm trying to avoid the extra steps if possible.

The view in my post is a vector view. Same as an elevation camera...it's a vector view which is controlled by the "rendering technique". You should just go purchase my Screened Porch Library and save yourself a lot of hassle. Section Elevation Camera...vector view; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
