Correct me if I’m wrong, but Shapr3D doesn’t yet have a one-click toggle to change transparency, right? Currently, the only way to adjust transparency is by following these steps:
1. Double-click the relevant part
2. Click the modeling symbol in the top left
3. Switch to the “Visualization” tab
4. Manually adjust the opacity to the desired percentage
This feels like too many steps, especially when I need to change transparency frequently.
For example, during assembly, I often want to check if inner parts are clashing with each other. Making parts transparent would make it much easier to see potential issues. Once I’m done, I’d like to switch them back to solid state quickly.
A one-click toggle for transparency—similar to how we toggle part visibility—would save a lot of time and make the process much more efficient.

In Visualization, a tag could be set on, say, up to ten different materials. Those would show up in Modeling as an icon under the Tools icon and expand to the set tags (in color) [material po…

Ooooo, very nice feature. Most definitely a good solid request
