I am using Revit 2024
I have a planting family with a CAD file inserted into it.
When I place the planting family in my project it looks great.
In a view with the Textures Visual Style applied it looks great too.
UNTIL I increase the transparency of the Planting category (or by object) above 0%.
When I set Planting transparency to 40% the Solid Hatch for the trees vanishes completely.
Same at 1%.
I would expect the material applied to the Object Style to not vanish, but to display the Material's Graphic's Shading Color, but with a 50% transparency.
- Adding an Image to the Appearance asset for the material applied to the hatches also doesn't solve the problem.
- Modifying Object Styles doesn't solve the problem.
- Modifying Materials in Object styles doesn't solve the problem.
- The issue only exists in the Textures Visual Style.
- When I select the planting family, it only shows the linework, the fill doesn't get selected and turned solid blue.
- Changing from Planting family to Generic Model family doesn't solve the problem.
If I import the CAD file directly into the project, I can adjust transparency as I would normally expect.
Am I missing a step in setting up my planting family? Or is it a bug that Nested CAD in a family will stop displaying filled regions in the Textures Visual Style when any transparency is applied?
