transparency in elevation

Anonymous

Is there a way to make something have transparency so that you see an element behind when working in a elevation? I want to show a perforated metal in front of the building wall. I have created a surface that shows everything correctly in the 3D window. I have windows that are behind the metal and in my elevations they don't show because my metal (created using a wall) "blocks" the building behind.

There are a couple of ways.

1 - Turn Transparency ON in Elevation settings (Model Display - Uncut Elements)

2 - Place items you want shown transparent on a specific layer set to show in Wireframe
