Right click 'Transparent' option for bodies in part modelling environment

Right click 'Transparent' option for bodies in part modelling environment

It would be nice if there was the option to make selected bodies, when modelling in the part environment, transparent.

 

This would be the equivalent to where we currently have the functionality to right click on a part in the assembly environment and make it transparent.

 

So for example when modelling within a part, you would be able to right click on a solid body in the modelling environment (or right click on the body in the Solid Bodies folder) and have a 'Transparent' option just as we currently have a 'Visibility' option.

 

Yes I know you can change (override) the appearance of individual bodies to give them an appearance that has transparency (i.e glass) but no this is not what I'm talking about! 😀

 

Often when modelling a part with multiple solid bodies, I might colour the bodies or give them appearance overrides (i.e. a timber appearance or generic colours) to help differentiate things. So this option to make bodies transparent as described above would be an option that could be applied to bodies regardless of their appearance overrides (i.e. like checking / un-checking 'Visibility' as we currently have the option to do). 

 

 

Thanks.
