C3D 2015-2016 Geolocation Map Opacity

[Anonymous]

I'm really liking the geolocation aerial map option that was put into C3D 2015 and 2016, but I do have a question in lieu of it. Is there a way to modify the opacity of the online map? It isn't a problem when working on different rail yard inside C3D, but I would like to change the opacity when it comes to capturing an area for printing. As it sits now, it makes it hard to read the CAD data with the map (when printed) and having the map on when printing is quite beneficial.  

Any help would be much appreciated.

Nevermind, I have figured it out. 

For those who are wondering the same thing, after you capture the area, you can then select the "box" that you've captured. That will open "Map Image" in the ribbon where you can modify the opacity (fade), brightness, and contrast.

For another approach, you can also change the transparency setting in the Layer Properties Manager on the layer your imagery is set to.
