      Hi All,

      Haven't been on here in ages. Gotta change that! I have a project I'm doing for a friend where I need to use Photomatch. I have a partially drawn model and would like to Photomatch it. When I bring in the photo, the model colours do not show properly. I've played with the view settings and found that clicking x-ray will bring the colours back, but they are transparent. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

      Cheers,
      Jeff

        It's hard to say without seeing the SKP file but I'd guess you've got the Match Photo Opacity sliders set to make the image transparent. Change them and see if that helps.

        Are you still using SU8 like your profile says?

                sorry. I didn't include that because your profile indicated you're an advanced user.

                In my foggy recollection of SU8, I think those sliders were still in the Match Photo window. At some point, though, they got moved to the Modeling settings under the Edit tab of Styles. Maybe that change occurred with SU8. It's been many years.

                  I was more advanced years ago, but photomatch is a feature I've never needed to use. Found the trick tho. Have to uncheck the foreground photo. Thanks again Dave. Much appreciated.
