Transparency?

[mankoff]

I fit a plane to a surface. I'd like to make the plane visible but 50% opaque or 50% transparent. Is this possible? I could not find it in the UI nor the documentation.

Thanks,

Indeed, there's no mean to do that right now. However, this would be very simple, so I think I'll add this feature in the next release.

Was this added? If so, where do I find it?

Thanks,

Well, it has been added to the "Tool > Other > Plane orientation" tool. But I'll add this option (i.e. stippling) as a checkbox for any mesh soon.

However, while it looks ok on a plane, it can looks very strange on true 3D meshes...

This option (stippling) is now available in the mesh properties dialog. Already on the github trunk.
