"Make Transparent" command and Geometry Filter

I can't use the command MAKE TRANSPARENT (I don't mean the Transparent command to set the display state) with the Geometry filter. I must obligatorily select Body as filter.
But I can add that command in the mini toolbar in that Selection item...

Is there a way to use Make Transparent with Geometry filter?

No, I think the actual behavior is the intended behavior. If you select geometry, in assembly you act on the part transparency, inside a part you act on a body transparency.  If you select the body explicitly, then of course the command always relates to and acts on the body

Hi,

what Creo version do you use ?

In Creo 9.0 I have Geometry filter selected when working on part. When I select Body using Pick From List command the mini-toolbar is displayed containing Make Transparent button.

I use 8.0.7.
If I select Body that command appears also to me, but I wonder if there is the possibility to use the command simply "touching the surface" with the geometry filter activated.

Creo 8 transparency control for quilts/bodies.
