RobWhite Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I have drawn a shower screen symbol in sketch up and transferred it to chief (CA X7), but I cannot make the glass transulent. The glass is transparent in the 3D view, but not in vector as a room elevations. I have tried assign glass material in CA, but the item is not transparent. I have also assign glass in shetckup before transferring but it is still not see through. I have over come the problem by deleting the glass in sketchup and simply retained the frame. This appears OK on my CA room elevations. But its not correct. Does anyone have a solution? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg_NY61 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I don't think you can make that work... Unless someone else has the answer... If I want to get the glass to be see through in Ortho view, I use remove surface tool and take the glass out in windows or doors. You can do the same and just have the frame showing, most will get a general idea that glass is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
