Material Opacity

[MikeRobinson]

I have applied a material to an object, which makes the object appear opaque (Glass effect).
The model appears like glass when viewing using the Realistic visual style, but if I try to view the same material effect using the Conceptual visual style, the model appears solid.

Can anyone explain why this happens?

The conceptual visual stype has "material display" set to "off". Creating a new style based on conceptual but with material display set to "materials and textures" might give you the combination you want.

Good Man Jaberwok - Worked Perfectly.

Thanks.
