Invisible material for walls, and the vector views

[ambrozac]

I made a wall invisible, not by designating it as such in the wall spec dialog under GENERAL> OPTIONS, but by making its material as INSULATION>Opening (no material).

Vector views show it as opaque white, not invisible.

Is there another material I should be using to make the wall invisible in vector view?

I saw Suggestions first and replied there. I believe you just need to edit your "Opening (no material)", to have a "Gap" material type, rather than what it is now, "Area".

My gosh, did Cliff solve the problem of the white solid . I will look into if tomorrow.

Yes, I believe he did. I tried it starting with a "Shower Wall". That Wall Type uses a 100% transparent GAP Material and is invisible in both orthographic and perspective views.

Nicely done Cliff.

Nuts, where has Cliff been the last 5 years, thanks Cliff.

Thanks Joe & Scott. FWIW, "Area" will calculate material to the Materials List, whereas "Gap" doesn't.
