Filled region obscuring detail - Has anyone overcome this?

[trading767445]

I'm trying to create a detail with an online formed with a filled region (with no hatch i.e. transparent) and correctly set to the top layer with display order. All looks fine in the detail family editor, outlines the detail etc.

When the detail component is brought into a project environment, the same filled region behaves like a masking region and obscures the detail beneath. If I wanted this behaviour I would have set the filled region to a solid hatch white, or used a masking region?

Is it possible to retain the transparency of a filled region in a project environment?

Thanks

Hi, and welcome! I saw this post yesterday, and was trying to recreate the issue, to no avail. The only thing I could come up with would be the visibility/graphics settings in the project and setting Detail Items to be transparent? If the transparency is set in the family, though, it should stay. I can see your frustration!

Not knowing how you created your "transparent filled region" or if you took an existing solid filled region and overrode it to be transparent...

I was able to create what you're describing.
The key is you need to create the filled region type to be transparent and it should be able to be used everywhere.

I created one that seemed to work...
Hope this helps
