Follow these steps to adjust the transparency of a solid model slice. This assumes that you have already displayed an isosurface or all-voxel solid model, and you have inserted horizontal and/or vertical slices. (If not, see Isosurface Settings, Voxel Model Settings, or Color Model Settings.)
- Right-click on the name of the slice to be modified (in the data pane of RockPlot3D) and choose Options. Or, double-click on the slice icon to access its settings.
- Opacity: Type in or use the up- or down-arrow button to set the percent opacity for the slice. At a setting of 100, the panel will be 100% opaque. At a setting of 50, the panel will be 50% opaque.
- Click the Apply button at any time to view the effect of your transparency changes on the slice. 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.
- You can repeat this process for additional slices, without even closing the current Options window. Just double-click on another slice name and its Options window will be docked with the others.
