Transparancy in Elevations

This is a new feature to Archicad 9 and it's driving me nuts! I use Anderson window and door modules in my housing models, and for some reason, the glass becomes transparent when i generate elevations. This results in a good deal of lost time deleting lines that show through the windows. Is there a way to turn off this feature?

3D transparency status is saved BY VIEW. if you flick between windows using saved views the transparency settings will also change to that saved with the view . . .

this is A Good Thing. but completely un-obvious.
