Visual Settings of Linked Deg

I have a linked design model from an electrical company done in AutoCAD. The access zones for the equipment are transparent 3D solids.

When linked into Revit MEP 2013 the 3D Solids are no longer transparent are making it tough to see placement of equipment.

Is there a way to change the visual of the Linked CAD model so that the 3D solid access zones are transparent as they are in the original model?

 

Thank You

Unfortunately, the transparency of the imported AutoCAD objects is not retained once imported into Revit. Additionally, there is no way to control the transparency of individual components within a CAD import. The only solution I can offer is to separate the access zones into a separate CAD file. Select that Import in each View, right-click, select 'Override Graphics in View' ► 'By Element', and adjust the Surface Transparency as desired.
