Hi Jeff.

How does one get it to work?
I have a project that contains a number of polygons with transparency of 50. In the dgn file the trancparency displays, but in the imodel the polygons only appear brighter, not transparent.
I have tried modifying trancparency for the level in level manager and Geospatial Administrator and for a single element in the Element Information dialog.

Bjorn,

There are no special settings required to make it work.

3326.transparency1.zip

The attached archive contains...

• Sample design file (using geo_example_designer workspace feature classes).
• Bentley Map Mobile Publisher settings file.
• Published Bentley Map Mobile i-model output.

...which illustrates the following where the source transparent1.dgn shows multiple transparent polygons and a single yellow opaque polygon that are all reflected in Bentley Map Mobile shown at the bottom.

Please take a look and let me know if you see similar results. If you would like to contact me offline and provide a test case I would gladly take a closer look.

Thanks Jeff.

How about when you add a raster. In the following picture the red polygon is transparent but you can't see the raster image through it.

Bjorn,

Transparency works with raster as shown in the following examples.

Which versions of the following are you using?

• Bentley Map
• Bentley Map Mobile Publisher
• Bentley Map Mobile

Please contact me offline if you would like to provide a sample data set for further investigation.

Hi Jeff.

Versions I am using:

Bentley Map for MicroStation 08.11.09.503
Bentley Map Mobile Publisher 05.02.01.16
Bentley Map Mobile 0502.01.052 for Android

Does it matter where you set the transparency value, in level manager, element information window or in Geospatial Administrator?

Bjorn
