Inventor Appearance More Transparent?

[Zac.Alexander]

Is there a way to increase the transparency of a part more than 100%? 100% isn't fully transparent and I'd like more transparency in my render than I've currently got. I'm mucking about in "Glossiness" and using Thicken/Offset to make the part thinner, but it'd be nice if there was a transparency or opacity setting that I might be missing.

Hi! Without an example, it is hard to comment further. Have you tried the following options?

Go to Tools -> Application Options -> Display -> Settings -> check "Enhance Appearance Transparency."

Many thanks!

I've got a bulkhead with a compressor behind it. I'd like the compressor to be more visible than it currently is behind the bulkhead. This is a render done with 100% Transparency, 15% Glossy, and 0% Translucent. I'll try the enhanced transparency setting.

Made a new flat part 0.001" thin to replace that portion of the bulkhead. Upped its transparency to the max and used Enhanced Transparency. It turned out better, but will have to rely on photoshop it looks like for dense assemblies if multiple transparent parts get in the way. I wonder if the transparency limit is because of hardware limitation or for simplicity.
