Changing the Transparency of an Assembly or Multibody Part

You can change the transparency of all components in an assembly or in a multibody part. Multibody parts and components that display in Shaded or Shaded with Edges modes change from opaque to transparent.

To change the transparency, right-click the assembly and click Top Level Transparency on the context toolbar.

For components that are transparent when you change the assembly to transparent:
  • If you do not change the transparency of the component, the component remains transparent when you change the assembly to opaque.
  • If you change the transparency of the component, the component becomes opaque when you change the assembly to opaque.
