Can you make it so that I can adjust the transparency? Like you can with an object in Microsoft Office

I'm limited by exporting, in the modelling programe i can change the material and have quite a few options. i.e. the blue background i have changed to Blue (clear) and this gives transparency. but can only really be shown with something behind it. To export it so i could upload i had to print screen and paste into Piant and save as.
So i suppose no i don't know of a way i can get it to you so you can change it.

Hi Dezzy,
I use Solidworks, and am quite good with it, you could try saving as PDF, and then any tools that work with that can be used. Also, when saving the model as PDF there may well be an option check box at the lower end of the screen to save as 3DPDF, the image can then be panned, rotated and zoomed by the end user using left mouse and scroll wheel, though their functions are reversed!

Best regards,
Steve (Trophy 885)
