Making Wires Translucent

[Gherkinman]

I'm in the process of making the Pneumatic tubing for our bot and I'm making it out of wire runs. But here's the thing. I make the wires and segments both Green (Clear), deselecting the "From Loom" option, and yet they still appear solid. How can I make them clear?

EDIT: I think I need to make my own wire style because I'm currently using some generic electrical wire. That can't be good. I need to make a style thats hollow and clear but I have no idea how. If anybody has any experience with this and can help I'd be much obliged.

Its a late reply, but what you could do is make up your own material.
Go to Surface styles in Studio and create a green material and turn the opacity down, then apply this material to the wires.

Ahh... how clever, too bad its too late to perfect my virtual bot thanks for the info though, now next year's team will be able to benefit.
