Follow these steps to adjust the transparency of the 3D isosurface. Reducing the opacity of the isosurface "blob" can be helpful if you wish to see surfaces, logs, or other entities that you have appended to the 3D image.
- In the Data pane of the RockPlot3D window, right-click on the name of the isosurface to be modified and choose Options. This is also available for morphed models.
- Opacity: Locate this prompt box.
- Type in or use the up- or down-arrow button to set the percent opacity for the isosurface. At a setting of 100, the isosurface will be 100% opaque. At a setting of 50, the isosurface will be 50% opaque.
- Click the Apply button at any time to view the effect of your transparency changes on the isosurface. You may need to drag the Options window out of the way to view the display. You do not need to close the Options window to apply and see the changes.
! Using the Apply button tells the program to invoke the changes you have made. You cannot discard changes once they have been applied.
