Hi I'm trying to create a 3d view where the floors are semi tranpsarent. I want to only do it in one view. If I go Settings>Materials>Graphics>Transparency appears to set it gloabally. V/G sets Transparency either fully on/off, which isn't desirable (It creates an invisible dwf!). Is there a way to achieve what I want? Thanks, Dave F.

The transparency setting you find under material settings only works during the rendered view process - not hidden line or shaded views. But in a dwf (NOT REVIT), you can pick an element and set it transparent.

Hmm... Attached is an image I captured in shaded with edges mode. I'd set the transparency thus: Settings>Materials>Graphics>Transparency Slider = 45%. I did NOT set the 'Use Render Appearance for Shading' option. This appears to contradict your statement, unless I'm missing something? I'd like this appearance to be view specific. When I create a 3d dwf, this appearance is transferred to the dwf.

One way to do this is to use phasing... this could cause other problems but would accomplish what you want to do. Set the floors to be created in the existing phase. Set the view phase filter to Show Previous + New. Change the "Phase-Exist" material to a semi-transparent material. All other views set the phase filter to Show Complete.
