Why can't I see vectorial hatch through transparent glass?

Is it possible? I have set the transparency of the glass shower enclosure to transparent, but the tile hatch doesn't show. I can see the shower head and the window in the wall beyond, so I know the glass is transparent. Is this a bug, or a setting I missed?

Odd. Never noticed that before. I'm not sure if that's a change in 18 or if it's always been like that.

If you change the transparency of the glass surface to 100%, then it will show the hatch behind. But the downside to that is that in 3D it is also 100% transparent, which is rarely what you want.

Thanks Jared! That fixed it. It seems like a bug to me. I'm passed needing to render this project, but GS should fix this.

Agreed. It'd be nice to have a threshold where 50% and above you see what's behind and below you don't. Or even 75%. Or something other than 100%.
