Layer Transparency

[jaredwahlberg]

Hi there, I just upgraded to Map 3d 2014 from 2010 and cannot figure out how to control the transparency for shapefiles. I thought that it was a glitch with the upgrade so installed the servepack and still no luck.  So when I go to edit style and then to the style polygon dialouge there is no control for the foreground and no control for the trasparency, there is just a the word tranparency option with "0" but no way change it.  I have installed 3d on 2 computers and the same on both. PLease help.

Hi,

it's there, the scrollbar, but something like too transparent 😉

Look to that, just put your cursor over the word "transparency" or the value, push and hold the left mouse button and "ride" the mouse to the right for higher or to the left for lower value. You might also type in the value itself.
