I have created a cylinder and applied a color as shown

cyl.Color = Color.ByARGB(

255, 0, 255, 0);

However the transparency does not seem to apply to the object.

I am using different visual styles is there a specific option I should be using??

You may try x-ray visual style to create transparent objects.

I'm encountering the same issue.  The layer trasparency setting is overriding the ARGB alpha setting.  I'm just starting out in DesignScript, so I haven't dug vary far into this, however, the manual states:  "For a Color’s alpha, 0 means the object will be completely transparent, while 255 means the object will be completely opaque."

Exactly Even when I adjust the value to 0 or anything in between it makes no difference. ______________________________________________________________________ The information contained in this email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

It seems that Color property on AutoCAD entity deson't have alpha value, but it has a separate Transparency property. And the default value for transparency is set ByLayer hence changing layer transparency overrides entity transparency.

So I think the alpha value in DesignScript should be mapped to Transparency property of the entity. This seems like a limitation at this point.
