how do i change the properties to clear in inventor 2012

[andrew.nao]

the changing of the properties from a solid color to a clear or transparent color is different from 2016 version to 2012 version as "clear" is not a property listed in the material drop down box. how do i change the property from a solid color to clear in version 2012?

see image, also - polycarbonate and water is on down the list.

and, Materials and Appearances have always been two different things.

Are you asking how to use the clear&.bmp type alpha masks?

i want to take a part and change the transparency while retaining the color. the image posted is of 2016... in 2012, "clear - blue" or "clear - green" is not an option how do i change the transparency in 2012

Edit the color style and change the "Opaque" slider
