Water Surface Transparancy

Anonymous — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 14:02:53 GMT

I'm looking for some guidance on apply transparency (or reduce opacity) to a water surface feature. I have a basic infraworks model and have added a floodmap (shp) provided by a colleague. Model looks good but I would like to be able to add transparency to the water to see buildings, roads, etc underneath.

Any help very gratefully received

Many thanks

You cannot change the opacity of the defined water surface styles within Infraworks. However, if you use a solid color, you can. This is done by creating a new style, and adjusting the alpha channel. 255 is solid, 0 is transparent. Start at 200 and adjust from there until you get the level of transparency you like. Good luck!
