lightworks and translucency . . .

is it possible to achieve a true translucency with lightworks? i.e. the light (and shadow) present on one face of the material is visible through on the other face of the material even if that material is opaque . . .

i've been playing around for what seems like an eternity and still can't achieve anything along those lines. i've googled in the desperate hope that someone out there my have some info on it, but all i've found is this from another applications troubleshooting pages:
another wrote:
... For instance, indoor lights will not shine through a glazed window and light up the ground outside. Similarly, light will not shine through a translucent lamp shade, even though you see through it. ...
now lightworks is obviously implemented to varying degrees of complexity in different applications, so i guess my question is: just what is the lightworks engine as implemented in archiCAD capable of? and if we are supposedly able to produce this kind of translucency, please can graphisoft provide us with some materials for the job.

That's too bad, the glasses .aat is more current. Anyways, now that AC11 is out in the world, I will be posting revisions to all of this stuff, materials, objects, work environments, etc.
