Transparent object in Navisworks

[bapan_b]

I have created some boxes in 3D model for access area, make it in different layer with 70% transparency. Shaded view of that model is showing as transparent object but when I load it in Navisworks it is showing as solid object.

What's the process to make transparent object in Navisworks?

Override item -> Override transparency.  With a little forethought for layer naming or other identifiers this can be automated using the appearance profiler.

Steps to follow is ;

 Select the item

 Right click 

 Select Override Item

 Select Override Transparency

 Set the Transparency you want from the window.

How can this be done when creating the object in AutoCad?  I am uploading dwg's to a general contractor's BIM 360 Glue so I don't have ability to change in glue.  I want to make it transparent in AutoCad so all the other contractors see it as transparent without having to alter it in Glue.

Thanks,

Brian

I would like to know how this is done as well, I need to know how to make objects drawn in Autocad show transparent in Glue.

Thanks for the solution but I have on query, Every time we append the .dwg transparent block, do we need to make this manually in Navis

You might have already got the answer, but still if not. When you got to viewpoint>renderstyle>mode,. there is render mode options. if you drop down to shaded one, it will work.
