Fixture Transparency not working?

[ddraynor]

This is our first project since upgrading to 2013 with the new transparency settings. We have always kept Plumbing Fixtures transparent so the Hidden Line settings wouldn't apply to them. It seams in 2013, this trick isn't working. Is anyone else having trouble with this? Any other workarounds?

Thanks,

We have been having the same problem. Are you working with a linked file? If you change the link to Underlay in the Revit Links tab of Visibility Graphics you will get the breaks(or non breaks) you desire. But our problem is that the fixtures are now showing up too light.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks

Have you tried using a filter for Plumbing Fixtures and override its transparency settings using that? It will affect all fixtures in your MEP model and the Arch model.

We have had most of the situations resolved by turning off graphics "use hardware acceleration" check box under options. Some still show thru though.
