This function can be used to apply a transparency value to any solid or surface. By default the faces will be highlighted, use the toggle selection to choose the solid.  The value you specify for transparency is a percentage of full transparency. The function used to be called up in Tools>Face Tools but is being phased out by the Part Splitter Material tab and in Edit>Entities>Set Material Properties.
