Sheet metal parts can't be transparent?

Designed the part as a sheet metal part. But when I want set its color property be transparent, the function is disabled. The part may actually not sheet metal, just be easier to design this way.

If you are in Wildfire 2 or newer, I know you can make a sheetmetal part transparent. Make sure you have made a new color and are modifiying that because it will not allow you to change the ref_color to transparent.

Yes, I defined a new material and then added the transparent property. Got it, Thanks.
