Surface Analysis and transparency

It appears color transparency for surface analysis is now broke in 2013.  It used to work in 2011 because I use to bring in Lidar data and run elevation analysis over top of aerial photos.  I did a few quick searchs and saw where other folks have mentioned it.  I never found any type of resolution.  Is Autodesk aware and are they working on this?

 

This issue reminds me of the Point Cloud issue with Lidar data right after 2013 came out.  It worked in 2011 just fine and then 2013 they broke it.  After calls to autodesk support and thread exchanges plus several months of waiting, service pack 2 for 2013 fixed the lidar classification issue.

Not sure it was ever fixed in 2013; I'm on 2014 now and it works (I think; never tried since installing SP1....)

It was never fixed in 2013 (and AutoDesk made it clear to me that they weren't going to bother until 2014 when I raised a support request). The only real option was to duplicate your surface, then explode one of them. Transparency would work on the exploded version. OK if you're not constantly changing your surface analysis, etc. but a right pain in the ar$% if you are.
