Blended/Stippled Transparency options not available in Creo 7.0.7.0 even tough they are present in previous Creo 6.x and in the Creo 7 documentation too.
The article in PTC support portal is not reachable.

    Hello @ET_9392213 

     

    You're right, the UI changed in Creo Parametric 7.0 which does not propose anymore access to the Transparency Options drop down box (previously proposed in earlier versions):

    • This change of behavior is intentional, and we officially documented it in article 330287
    • Controlling Blended or Stippled Transparency in Creo Parametric 7.0 (and later) remain neverthless possible via value of config option blended_transparency which can be set to:
      • Independent (see Help Center here😞 Gives a high-quality, order-independent (known as "OIT" in characteristics documentated for the graphic cards) transparent effect to the model. The effect is produced from hardware-accelerated graphics cards.
      • yes which stands for Stippled Transparency
      • no which stands for Blended Transparency

    Hope this helps

     

    Regards,
