Elevation view - How to disable glass transparency in S/E?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:22:39 GMT

Hello.

Hopefully someone can help me with this rather annoying problem. Ever since I set glass (material) to transparent in 3D, all windows became transparent in S/E views too.

Seems obvious, but I need clean S/E view sets, and currently all my S/E sets display internal doors, windows on opposite external walls, and so on.

Unfortunately, limited horizontal rage of S/E isn't appliable in this case.
Is there a simple way of disabling (glass) transparency in S/E?

You can do this by changing the setting in the 3D Window Settings dialog and then reset the View Settings. Hopefully this will be added directly to the view settings themselves soon. It save trouble of course to make sure this is set before you create the views.

Oh, how on earth could I have missed that? Sometimes one can't see the forest for all the trees.
Thank you.

whatever

transparency is set in the 3D window settings, and is remembered with your saved view. Materials own colours and fills / hatching are settings within the Section / Elevation itself. Personally I think these should be able to be set and remembered in views too.

.. and the transparency is set as a parameter of the S/E marker. Also, it is saved with the view.
