How to change transparency of a filled region

Hi all,

 

In Revit are you able to edit the transparency of a filled region similar to AutoCAD?

 

In AutoCAD you can set the transparency from 0-100 but in Revit i can only see two options of either 'Opaque' or 'Transparent' under the edit type feature. 

 

Surely there's a way to edit the transparency of a filled region in Revit?

 

Many thanks

Just unchecking the "masking" option in the filled regions type properties is the simplest way of doing this

Hi,

 

I am working on Revit 2024. I learnt a lot in this tread, however, both solutions don't work on families for me.

 

I could add a filter to the project to achieve 50% transparency.

I could right-click on a filled region and changed the transparency in "override graphics in view"

 

But, I have filled region in my key plan, which is a nested family in the titleblock. 

Both "filter" and "override graphics in view" are not options in the family.

 

How can I change the transparency of these filled regions?

 

Thanks

have you tried the "hidden line" feature under the view menu?  (to see objects below other objects).

If you uncheck DRAW IN FOREGROUND that might fix the issue you are having.  After doing a search it brought me here and thought there was no solution to my issue until I unchecked that box. I had a filled region in front of an element and wanted it to be semi transparent.  By unchecking that box I guess it moved it behind the element and made it look exactly how I expected it.
