Transparent or Screened Pen Colours for transparent lines - is this possible?

g r a n t
Enthusiast

Hello,

I am wondering if it is possible for ArchiCAD to have "screened" pen colours so they have a transparency when plotted?

Can the pen colours be set to a degree of transparency. From what I can find online and this forum is does not appear so. I thought there may be a work around.

My goal is to have thicker line types (say 1mm or 1.5mm) that can have a 25% or 50% screen so the lines allow some of the lines/objects below to show through.

Thank you.

Grant

Short answer, no.

 

But you could set up a dashed line type and you will see through the gaps (not quite the same I know).
