Hey everybody. So I have a VAV family which requires a clearance area to the side for access to the electrical panel, motor, etc. I want to use an extrusion to show this clearance area, so that it will be visible in section and 3D views as well as plan views. I've created a Subcategory called "Clearance Areas" and applied the desired Line Style to it, so it will appear dashed.
My problem is that I want this clearance area to be transparent. I created a material with its transparency set to 100 and applied that to my clearance area extrusion. It looks transparent in the Family Editor (see picture), but when I load it into my model, it's Opaque. (second picture.) There's a controls box inside the clearance area that I want to be visible through the clearance area. Can someone clue me in? Did I miss a step somewhere? Thanks for reading!
