How to set different Opacity to body within a occurrences

[vijay.shindeSLE5F]

Hi BrianEkins, chris.monachanZWSCF, boopathi.sivakumar,

We have a model into which we have create a Body and from that Body we have created a Component.

We then made a copy of that component.

Now are trying to set different Opacity to these two bodies present under different components.

Observed that whenever we changed Opacity for one body or component the Opacity for other entity is also affected.

Please refer to below GIF for more details.

Is there way to set different Opacity? Are we missing something here?

Thanks in advance 😊

What you have is a single component called "Cube". That component contains the body. You have two instances (occurrences) of that component in the assembly, "Cube:1" and "Cube:2". These occurrences reference the component and display its contents. The opacity is a property of the body and there is only one body in this case, the one in "Cube". Each of the two occurrences are displaying the same body but in different locations. When you change the opacity, you are changing it on the body in the "Cube" component and because the occurrences are displaying that body, you see the changes in both occurrences. The same will be true if you add a fillet to the edge of the box. You're actually editing the body in "Cube".
