    1. I have a piece of frosted glass, i´ve used a box form with 85% transparency to represent this. In CAD mode, I can see through it but in Live mode, i cannot. How do I fix this? 2. I want to use projectors in my lighting design. I have selected the generic projector and attached a video but I dont see any way to see the result? 3. Ultimately, I want to do rear projection onto the glass. How can I acheive this with capture?

    I asked this question last November as it something myself and a lot of other users are finding frustrating at the moment. Its a known bug which appears to be a difficult one to fix (given the time its taking).

    To quote Lars on the issue:

    '(Transparency is currently not working in live mode I'm afraid, we're working on that!)' (1).

    Currently I don't know of any work around's to resolve the issue but rest assured that I keep reminding the Capture chaps about the problem. I do hope we get it fixed soon as not being able to visualise a gauze is a real limitation of Capture at the moment.

    Hi all,

    As Michael writes, this one has given us quite a headache. We did make an attempt to fix it in 2.6, but it was a failure. We're regrouping and preparing a new attempt, currently scheduled for 2.8 as we have to prioritize paperwork improvements at the moment!
