Hello
I have a visibility problem on the one hand that I don't see anymore and that normally I should see because I have defined transparency on the part in front.
Questions:
1) I noticed that my part has the "part body" icon not green but gray. What does this mean?
2) Are there any priorities in CATIA for transparency between parts?
Thank you for your advice
Hello:
If you can't see the room anymore, there can be several reasons:
The most common in Stitch mode is to select a face and hide. This has the effect of hiding all the functions of the part (the best practice is to select in the graph).
To check if this is the case, you unfold the graph under the parts bodies if all your functions are grayed out.
1) When the part body icon is gray, it tells you that the part body was not built in the Catia environment you are in. (Hybrid or normal).
See Tools / Options / Infrastructure Part / CATPart Document (Hybrid Design).
I wouldn't advise mixing hybrid mode and normal mode on the same part
2) There are two modes: Low or High.
See Tools / Options / General / Display / Performance / (Transparency Quality)
* Edit (2) it's Monday I had read "property"
I usually apply the "global" Graph properties on the single instance of a part (so that when I work on the part outside of assembly no PB of transparency, the file has the default properties).
If it is a transparent part that has a lot of instances in one or more ASS, I put the global graphical properties on the part body(s).
