westvale Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Hello friends, can anyone tell me why my windows are not see through? They were before, not sure what changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryceEngstrom Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Looks like you're in Vector View mode. Windows are opaque in that mode, as opposed to Standard or other modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garybills Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 @westvaleThe only time I've seen that is when I was using the Paint tool on something close to the window and hit the glass accidentally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHampton Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Check the glass properties. Click on the glass with the rainbow icon. The material should be set for transparent glass. Crown glass is the default. Glass will always be transparent in standard views... but for vector (line drawings) you'll have to toggle the rendering technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvale Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 I'm pretty sure I did as you said, and it looks as it should, but mine doesn't appear to be working... windows are still not see through. They used to be when I was working in this file earlier, but not today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Try unchecking "opaque window glass". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHampton Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 The glass material appears to be correct. Vector views will never be see-through unless opacity is unchecked. Question... have you tried looking at an archived plan file? That's typically the best place to look when figuring out why something is behaving differently. Open up a saved plan and if the glass is see-through. If so, then recalibrate the current plan accordingly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
