Add Opacity control also to individual objects in bodies folder

[cekuhnen]

Currently I can only adjust opacity for a component

but I would like to be able to selectively adjust that to certain bodies only!

It would also be nice to control the opacity for linked designs.

Can't wait for this this!! Add a ghost mode that is a standard, white shader with about 90% transparency, that way you can quickly turn a dark object transparent with out having to change the color as well.

We're implementing this right now 🙂

One question we wanted to get feedback on is about whether the opacity setting of a Form should affect the converted solid/surface body.

What are peoples' expectations for how the T-Splines body's opacity affects the converted solid/surface?

1. Treat them independently: converted solid/surface is 100% opaque when created, and subsequent opacity changes to either body do not affect the other
2. Inherit but don’t link: converted solid/surface inherits the opacity of the T-Splines body when you first convert, but subsequent changes to either body do not affect the other
3. Link their opacities: changing either the T-Splines' or solid/surface's opacity propagates to the other automatically

Thanks!

@jakefowler Boy that is a tough one.

past results are ghosted and then how do you do that with TS when one also set custom ghost features.

I would nearly say when seeing a past ghost keep the transparency as is.

This is when previewing previous modeling outcomes

but when leaving the TS mode then allow me to see selected objects with an individual transparency value.
