Control opacity of surface features in patterns

Turn on and off opacity of a surface feature in a pattern.

When you create a surface, it is translucent and is the same color as a work plane. When you switch off the Translucent option, the surface becomes opaque.

  1. To control opacity of all surface features in all pattern occurrences, select the pattern icon in the browser. Right-click, and then click All Surfaces Opaque, or All Surfaces Translucent.
  2. To control opacity of an individual feature in a pattern occurrence, in the browser, expand the pattern icon. Then expand the occurrence icon. Select the feature, right-click, and then switch on or off the Translucent option.
