Problem Description

Here I have a custom BXF cell (a complex window) that has green surface instead of transparent glass-like. I am sure that Display Style is set in a way I could see the transparency, because behind the BXF cell there is a second window, a standard one from the library, that already has transparent elements. How can I add transparency to a part of BXF cell?

Steps to Resolve

1. First you need to decide which level will be transparent. You can choose an existing one from Level Manager or create a new one. Here for instance a new level called "transparency" was created and set with transparency of 90.

2. In order to modify an existing component that uses BXF cell, select this element and go to the Building Element Info - Parametric - Edit.

3. Go to "Set Symbology". Choose the part of the element that should be transparent (Pane) and change the Level to the one you have created / changed. In this case - to "transparency".

4. Click on Build Command and then Apply. Now the part of BXF cell is transparent.
