Hope you are all having a super day!!

Just a query on whether it is possible to have transparent glass with the sketch renderer. I'm finding that my pool fence is obscuring some objects I would like to be visible.
I love the outputs you can get with this engine, and transparent glass would be the icing on the cake.
Thanks very much
Tony

Some one might correct me on this,
But im pretty sure its toggled in the "3D Window Settings" Shown Highlighted.
Just switch this to on and the Sketch renders should have transparency.
Im working in 11 but i was certain that in AC10, AC9 etc there was a transparency slider, inside the [Options] in that menu, which determined what percent transparency was see through in renders or not.

That's right.
And don't forget that the transparency can be saved with a view.
Cheers,
