How do I Create Transparent Mass

[nikitadoroshko]

Hey there, 

How do I create transparent mass as shown on the attached image? I've discovered it in Revit sample file.

Thanks in advance.

Select the massing and give it material. If you plan to copy multiple massing, I would parametrized it.

They look transparent in your screenshot. Are you talking about the Mass floors?  You can add a transparency to the Material the Floors are using.

No, I am talking about actual mass in which mass floors are located, so they become visible. Looked in Visibility/Graphics overrides but didn’t find anything

It looks like the mass is visible.  But turn on Mass Category under VGOs and/or turn on "Show Mass Form and Floors" on the Massing & Site Tab.

Massing is always set to turn off by default. This button will turn them on.

Yes, but how to achieve transparency of a mass?

[syman2000]

See my first post. You have to add material.

Materials

Yes, thank you. I confused mass and generic model component. Mass is transparent by default.

The default material for mass is already transparent unless you deliberately modify it.
