Look into the use of Xray visual style and/or the use of transparency as it applies to layers and objects.]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2012 21:10:11 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=7294&PID=18961&title=regions#18961 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=7294&PID=18958&title=regions#18958 Author: John Connor

I was not aware of that particular behavior in previous releases.  I have no idea if there is a setting that controls it in 2012.]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:38:04 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=7294&PID=18958&title=regions#18958 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=7294&PID=18957&title=regions#18957 Author: neil mount

typically i will have a steel staircase surrounded by walls. In shade mode if the walls were solid then the staircase would not be visible. A good way then is to have walls made from regions. As i have stated, in older versions, the back of regions were transparent so as you rotated the staircase the nearest walls were transparent and the far walls solid. This is a good visual tool. Unfortunately in 2012 both sides of the regions are solid hence the staircase is not visible. Is there a setting to amend this? Draw a region and try it yourself you should understand ]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:06:56 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=7294&PID=18957&title=regions#18957 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=7294&PID=18955&title=regions#18955 Author: John Connor

Could you provide a bit more detail regarding how you are creating your walls?  Thanks.

using acad 2012. In previous versions i used regions for identifying walls in models. The benefit of this was in shaded mode. The side would only shade to which the z axis was applied. When viewed from the other side it would appear transparent - enabling the model still to be seen. In this version both sides shade. Does anyone know if a setting is available to make the reverse side transparent.]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:19:44 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=7294&PID=18948&title=regions#18948
