Transparency Reversal

Is the transparency set to Best?
-
window->styles->edit.
-
In the Faces section of the Styles window.

Thanks Thomthom,

I don't recall that setting. Where? OpenGL settings on video card? It's not in the SketchUp > Preferences > OpenGL settings, and I can't figure out where else it would be.
Or are you talking a Renderer setting? The image is 100% SketchUp.
Thanks for looking into this,

Thanks Remus, thanks Thomthom,
You nailed it.
The choices are "Faster", "Medium", and "Nicer" and it was set to "Faster". When I switch from "Faster" to "Medium" the transparency layering in the image changes from error to proper.

Thanks again,

I have some times had more luck with Medium over Best as well. I dunno why. Might be a graphic card thing...

I try to keep it as fast as possible until I have problems with it. It speaks for itself; it can be faster with this setting. Turn it on only when you need a render output (not meaning PR render here)

I've also almost had the best success on medium. There was one file that "best" helped in one spot, but then it was worse in 95% of the rest of the model, so I left it on medium.

So it's not just me then. Maybe there's a bug here?
I wonder if this is since SU7?

It's been there before.
The issue gets worse when you mix SU transparency with transparent PNG materials.
