Tranparent materials doesn't work on layout 2017

Ok I understand what you are seeing and we are aware of this.

Transparent style views rendering opaque in Layout 2017

I use stacked viewports and transparent (X-ray) styles to produce floor plans of cabinet layouts where I can, for instance, see through the countertops to the lower cabinets beneath.(I learned this technique from Matt Donley of MasterSketchup). It’s worked since at least the 2014 version, but no longer seems to work in Layout 2017. The countertop objects in the X-ray styled viewport do render in a lighter color, as if the white background were showing through, but the objects are in fact entire…

We are working into how best to resolve this.
