Problem with transparent insulation on the duct/pipe

Hi!

I have some ducts in shaded view (1. Picture)
I want a transparent insulation on this ducts. Only the two thiny parts of the ducts sides will be transparent and the ducts is stay in shaded color (3. picture). But if i change the insulation transparency the duct/pipe also be transparent (2. picture).
How can i take this part of the ducts transparent or can i change only the insulation to wire frame?

Need more information to see what the problem is. I tried replicating this without a problem but that is perhaps my misunderstanding of what your issue is.

 

Ill give it a go. Shading of your duct comes from the default material chosen in your object styles. This is typically just a grey fill. If you use wire frame you would need to use a filter to override the solid fill of the duct. There is a forum topic HERE that talks about using filters.

I don't use wireframe. That's a shaded view and some transparency in the ducts. But if i put insulation on the ducts, the insulation is override the ducts parameters too. I want only transparent insulation with shaded duct. If i set transparency for the insulation the duct is also be a transparent.
I take a picture what i want to achieve:

But it's work only in Consistent Color mode, not in the Shaded where i want. 

Is the problem is undertandable?

Apply transparency to the insulation only, it should result this in "Shaded View".
