Glad we could help.

Thanks! I kept deleting edges instead of faces until i finally understood what you were saying.

@wind-borne said: Extended Standard Views Brilliant Script by Mr. Fullmer. This Does the job exactly as needed. Thanks for the lead. I'll have to remember to "Save" the scene once Axes have been aligned with model if the Extended Standard Views is going to work. Thanks again to "wind-borne" and CLF. Regards to all Nino

If you did things in the order you described, the transparent material is applied to the faces and then you tried to apply the water material after you made the component but without opening the component for editing. Materials applied to faces supersede materials applied to components. Open the component for editing and apply the water material to the desired face.
