Create transparent model view with hidden features highlighted in colors

Need some help from the experts here.

 

We use solidedge to create visual representation of 3D model (refer attached).

As we transition to Inventor, how to replicate the same in Inventor view representation?

Appreciate any assistance.

Hi! I am sorry I don't understand the request. In the attached part, there are already Design View Representations to show or hide the MBD annotations accordingly. Please elaborate what is missing.

Many thanks!

Hi @johnsonshiue , 

 

Sorry, let me clarify, attached screenshot of solidedge shows model that is more translucent and hidden faces are clearly visible.

I don't see any option to create that transparent representation in Inventor. Inventor wireframe or hidden edge visible just shows the internal edges in wireframe. but I am trying to set the hidden faces with some color properties while keeping the model transparent. Hope its clear now.

@johnsonshiue , Please refer this side by side comparison between the solid edge representation and inventor model.

Goal is to achieve same representation in Inventor as that of solidegde

Simply assign a transparent appearance to the component.
You can select an existing material from the list or create your own, tailored to your needs.

In addition to the appearance properties, the lighting style is also responsible for the final effect on the screen.
