Could the Zone Color be transparent?

[Anonymous]

I will print the file with listed zone(active) and the reference dwg(reference) below. Could anyone tell me whether there are any possibilities to make the color of the zone to be transparent or half transparent when the file is printing out?

Excellent Question.

This issue relates to the Model View Options where the actual Zone Settings are Over-ridden.

Set your zone fill to 25 or 50% and the background fill to transparent.

Go in this box to see if your settings are over-ridden:

Or you could make all the Zones "Go to Back" with the display mode control.

Wow Dwight, that is a pretty strong background color for your ArchiCAD.

It is like a self-healing cutting mat.
I liked purple but some duffus commented that, too.

Besides… what's it to ya, buster?

If it is good for you, it's good for me.
I just never liked spinach, not even in primary school.

You know you are using SEO too often when you have to change your background to look like a cutting mat to avoid scratching your screen!

And i find that china marker is easier to wipe off a shiny screen.

Thank you for your tips. As I could not find the transparent color of background fill color, I have to realize the half transparent of the zone by Hide the background such as Picture 1.

If I want to fill some half transparent color on some area, I choose the fill the area as Zone, and don't display the Zone text such as Blue color on the wall in Picture 1. This is also the reason that I could not find the transparent color of the Fill's background color directly.

Is there any transparent color to choose?
