I’ve just started using version 16 and I can’t get the transparency feature to work like in previous versions. I like to make certain parts transparent when I’m modeling and I also use the bounding box feature a lot and want that to be transparent too but it’s not. Does anyone know what I need to do? Thanks

Hi, just to make sure — and, this is from the perspective of a user of the Windows version of SharkCAD/ViaCAD — you've enabled: — Transparency, in the Inspector, and — Opacity, in the Shade Options? Not that you missed both those.

I will have to check if I enabled opacity in the shade options tomorrow. I didn’t realize you needed to do that. Thank you for the suggestion.
