Objects palette - transparency

The Objects palette lists all objects in the currently open drawing files (current or open in edit mode or open in reference mode). You can sort these objects according to certain criteria. Allplan 2020 provides a new criterion for sorting objects - transparency.

Note: The transparency setting affects the animation view type only. Make sure the Use OpenGL for all viewports option is selected in the Hardware acceleration - graphics area on the Desktop environment - Display page in the Options.

You can now make objects transparent. You can do this for all objects in one go or for each object individually in each list row. Use the following buttons:

= from 0% to 100% (by steps of 20%)
Point to the symbol to select the degree of transparency.
indicates that this hierarchical level includes both objects with transparency and objects without transparency.
indicates that all objects of this hierarchical level have transparency settings of 100%, which means that these objects are not visible in animation.

When you point to objects that cannot be made transparent (for example, 2D objects), you can see the following note: Transparency not available for these objects.

Note: Some 3D objects (for example, SmartParts for opening elements) cannot be made transparent for the time being. When you make a component (for example, a wall) transparent and this component contains such objects, Allplan hides these objects (for example, SmartParts for opening elements). As soon as you turn transparency off, all objects are visible again.
These settings apply to the animation view type only.
