Transparent object in Sketchup not transparent in Vray

[LARV]

Hello wizards,

I have a car with windshields that are transparent (this is a new feature in modern cars).
I rendered the car in Vray and everything was fine, but then I changed the colour of the windshield in the Vray material editor and it´s not transparent anymore when rendered.

Tips?

OK, so I managed to get it transparent.

There´s one box for colour and one for transparency colour. Shouldn´t the transparency colour be a number in % instead? Less confusing than to grasp that a full white transparency colour means 0 transparency...

It's possible to use a texture to control the transparency because you may want a decal or something that is transparent, or you may want camera angle to control the transparency

Makes sense. Thanks!
