Hi Colin,
thanks for the suggestions re unrelated - yes, I typically have a “Design” scene that has its style set to minimal graphic-intense settings (ie. no profiles, no shadows etc) - I just deleted about 20 scenes before sending it your way.
Aww - it sucks that I can’t have a Hybrid viewport that respects the transparency right down to the vector line behind it - as mentioned, the other thread that I found, it seems to be an issue others (perhaps not enough) are finding to be an annoyance as well.
As for the transparency for the guardrail - I only had it set to 0% just as an extreme to show there’s no threshold as to when the vector lines may show up - e.g. related but unrelated, I recently found out that the threshold for transparent material to cast shadows is 71% opacity - ≥ 71% opacity, a material will cast shadows while an opacity setting less than that will not cast shadows - not sure if that was ‘intentional’ or just the way things worked out.
Back to this topic, I just hope this will be something that is just by default in future releases as opposed to just a convenient way (easy-out) the SU / LO developers decided to have it displayed in the viewports. My situation is a rather simple example of this - the other thread has others with projects that would required intensive workarounds, especially when revisions are required.
Thanks for looking into this Colin.
