Selective Transparency

[suzanne]

Hi.
Is there a few to make only a portion of a sketchup model transparent?
For example, I have a CADD model with a house and a garage and I would like only the garage to be transparent. How do I do this?

Thank You!!!

You could change the transparency of all the materials that are applied to the garage, although this isnt a very elegant solution.

True that not an elegant solution but the only one.

Thank you for your input.
I did try making the garage all glass but the result wasn't what I was looking for.
thanks, though, again for the help!

Could you perhaps get pleasing results using the Dennis technique?

There is a way of making one way transparencies, have a look at the attached model:
