      I've made a hollow cylinder I'd like to make transparent (simulating clear acrylic). I've painted all its surfaces Translucent_Glass_Gray and set the inner and outer surfaces to 14% Opacity. Nevertheless, as you can see in the attachment, the setting only seems to be affecting the outer surface. I should be able to see the part of the model projecting inside the cylinder. What am I doing wrong? This is SketchUp Pro 8 on Windows 7 x64. Thanks for your help.

            Paint the back faces with your transparent material.

            Note: Green is my default back face color.
