Hi there,
I am a bit stuck - the ghosted view doesn’t show as I would expect - the blue inner structure is obstructed by frames which run behind it - is there a setting I can change to adjust it?
Cheers,
Ewa
Hi Ewa - can you post the file or send to tech@mcneel.com with a link back here in your comments? Do the camera coordinates look reasonable (Properties panl, with no selection) or very large?

Hi please see attached - I removed parts of the model as I am not allowed to share it, maybe I have wrong expectations of how it should look like; X-ray seems to look better but I wanted surfaces to be shaded for better illustration of the different elements in the model
Hello- here is how that detail looks here in Ghosted.
Can you please run SystemInfo in Rhino and copy/paste the results here?

It is almost the same, I removed Isolines in my set-up, and some elements in the file I’ve attached were not included in my original picture at the top. I am mostly bothered about the back detail showing through - which is exactly the same on your picture. I guess this is just the logic of ghosting - thanks for clarifying this to me

It would not hurt to update the AMD driver, from the AMD website, if there is an update available there.

thank you; my PC is a bit underwhelming, it is on my to do list to uplift it.
I’ve touched up the drawing in Krita - and am attaching the snip just to be clearer on what I was aiming for
One thing you can try - and it may be limited by the low power GPU but you can use the regular shaded display mode and set layer colors to various amounts of transparency - not as convenient but very ‘tuneable’.
-Pascal
Thank you, I think this is something to play with, I thought originally to change materials to transparent - but I think that would work in rendered view rather than in shaded.
What you’ve done here is very much what I am after
