      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?

              Just monkeying around....like Monsanto

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