Stair Headroom Transparency in Sections - How?

Aaron Bourgoin

I can't create a graphic override to act on only the headroom membrane of a stair. It seems to affect all stair components.

Is there a way to convert this blue membrane into a transparent fill with dashed lines for contours?

I am not aware of a setting that would control this specifically.
I would probably display the Headroom, draw those Fills and Lines, then hide the Headroom.
Unfortunately, this means you would have to update them in case the Stair changes.

They're 3 dimensional and dynamic. In my sections they look like zones. but I can't control their transparency, so they obscure details in the section and can't be used to graphically illustrate compliance for headroom.

It's great to have the clash detection feature, but it seems to come at the price of no control for the graphics.

It would be good to have control over its graphics.
Care to make a wish for it?

I've been wishing for it all afternoon. Makes the MVO pointless—I can draw 2-d and update like I've been doing for decades.

I would like to see more control over these headroom settings.

Fast forward to August 2020, looks to me that there is still no update on this feature, including in AC24, am I right?
Can someone post the link for the wish please?
Not sure how to find it.
Cheers.

Version 26, 4 years after this thread and I still can't change the transparency of the headroom clearance.
