Transparent Maps in Inventor?

[JD Mather]

Created a part same shape as decal to apply the decal. Then used that part placed on the transparent part.

The easy way was to Split the Faces and Thicken Offfset as surface, the Derive Component the surface to create the Decal part. Guess there was bit of work involved that might be beyond beginner level.

If you can attach your image I might be able to give more advice.

I appreciate the help, but I think we'll just live with partially transparent decals. We're out of time and I'm pretty sure our Inventor team has uploaded their entry (or hopefully will today).

I'm more familiar with Autodesk 3ds Max, which does allow decals with transparancies to be applied to transparent objects. I was hoping Inventor had the same thing, but it's not a big deal. The rest of the robot looks great

Something to think about for next: Maybe you could make the decals transparent in the real world so they match? It's kind of the easy fix, but might hurt you on aesthetics.
