Viewport transperancy

Hi.,

Attached viewport in the drawing. How to get the transparency of the viewport background. the viewport background is opaque

Hello Sekar!  Unfortunately the “Hatch B” viewport, the one with the raster line hatch, must render as raster to show correctly.  This means there is a a whitc background.  You can easily stretch the viewport to resize, or double-click in and draw a clipping mask…  Let me know if that solves it!

Hi.,

The hatch viewport we had it in the hybrid, will it work as transparent?. Stretching and clipping mask works.

I’d like to ask my question that I feel is somehow connected to the original post.

Whenever I try to print or Export Hatch B to PDF it (the entire viewport) appears as solid black. Is there any solution to that?

The hatch will always render as raster and create an opaque background. All the hatches in ConDocs are raster images, even if you force it to Hybrid it will still render as a raster and give you the opaque background. As for the solid black hatch, this typically happens because you have an object like a ground plane that is very large that is being hatched. Go to the SketchUp Hatch A or B tab in  that is giving you the issue. Set that view current, you should be able to see what object is out of place and shouldn’t be on in the scene. This is usually caused by a ground plane that is untagged or on the wrong tag
