Animation tab. opacity/transparancy problem.

[mukha521]

Hello!

I have some weird problem with opacity in animation. It happened on it's own and I don't know why. Components are just not fully opaque for no reason.

I made a little screencast to show the issue

Can somebody help?

Just thought I'd add that having one animation ruined by this issue, I binned it and started a new storyboard.  Upon the start of this new storyboard, without having done a single thing, my assembly is full of translucent components.  When I switch back to the model tab opacity returns to normal.  This translucency seems to be a default setting in animation, making it a useless tool for the software.  It might as well not exist.  I'm really not happy about it either as my employer wants animated outputs.  Might switch to Solidworks because, well.... its solid and it works .

Just wondering if there was any news regarding a fix for this bug? I'm attempting to put together an animation of the assembly for a presentation and adding any fade in appears to trigger the issues mentioned above. I've checked the design in the model view and everything looks fine there. When I initially switch back to the animation tab all the parts are solid and look normal but making any changes (including publishing) triggers the parts to look transparent.

Let's say your components are now transparent with wireframe and there is no way to make the bodies visibles again. Go back to the file of one of those transparent ones (i always pick the biggest one) and change the Opacity Control to 100% by right clicking on the body.
Save the component file and update your assembly file.
Now on Animation mode you should see the components bodies again. 

I guess, if the same issue happens within a multiple body file, you should repeat the process without going to or updating another file.

I love Fusion, but issues like this which can really complicate your work should be alarming the Dev team.. 🙂

Exact same issue . . . this is really irritating to hear that this problem hasn't been fixed in over a year. Come on autodesk the animation space is practically useless without this. Glad my thesis design will be sub par because of this.

I feel the pain.  A director of my company wants an animation done of a large assembly and instead of components fading in and out of view as they ought to, they thud into view with the grace of a boulder crashing down a mountainside - all because if you do anything with visibility toggle duration, the transparency bug is triggered.

Does anybody know how to escalate this issue? There might be a lack of transparency, allowing the dev team to sit on an issue without managers learning of end-user complaints.
