Glass railing transparent on elevation

[corina.negrescu624M8]

Hi! I'm trying to make the glass in a railing transparent on elevation (Fine, Hidden Line). The glass panels have the material set to Glass and they are made as Railings (Rail structure non-continuous).

If I overwrite the graphics, everything becomes transparent.

In the 3D view, the glass panels are transparent.

Is there a solution to this, or should I simply make it as a curtain wall instead?

Glass Material isn't Transparent in 2D Elevation Views.  What about a 3D Elevation View instead? 

...your curtain wall approach with transparency override applied is valid approach too.

It needs to be transparent on a 2D elevation.

Then model the Railing with Curtain Walls if you have the option to redo them.

this method would make the entire railing transparent but I think for architectural purposes this may be good enough. can justify stylizing like that with the intent to show what's behind it.

I'll remake them as curtain walls...:)

One workaround is to have two railings, one with structure only, the other with glass only.  Then do a filter in your views to apply to railing types with "Glass only" in the name, and set to partial transparency.

your Glass railing has a dedicated material Type I presume, Then you can create a filter for that via it's Type Name and apply that filter to your section. In your section view, you can adjust the transparency

If it was a panel family you could apply a subcategory, but we're using a continuous glass "rail", and that is not able to be filtered.
