Completed
set current in custom color
Kai Knospe
sometimes having all items in black will overload the scene to see nothing, having all in white for example could be easier to read.
in catia we have something called ghosting, we can select one or more assemblies to display in semi transparent white ghost mode, all others will stay in normal appearance making it easier to focus on the right parts.

Hi everyone,
For Eyeshot 2022 we implemented a new rendering algorithm for frozen/inactive entities specifically designed for large assemblies.
You can take a look at the feature in action here: Play Video.
This new method completely prevents alpha saturation.
The AssemblyDemo project might be what you are after
Hi Damian, not really, this setcurrent lead to big black cloud if you have complex large structures. remember, if you have several geometries in transparent black over each other you finally get full black. black unfortunatly is a dominant colour. Kai
Hi Kai,
Here is a scene I have with approx 70k entities and I have overridden the ghost colour to ARGB values of 10,0,0,0. I have selected an sub assembly about mid point in the scene and view it from opposite ends. Overlapping does darken areas, but not so much as there is black out. I don't think the colour black is the issue rather the alpha value for transparency. I have included a screenshot as well where the transparency value is 100 and it appears to have the blacking out you mention.

Hi Damien, thats looking great. would it be possible to point me in the right direction, e.g. with a little sample? Kai
Hi Kai,
I don't seem to be able to post a sample application here, so I have created a post on the Forum. Hope it helps.
Technique to change ghosted Entity colour – Help Center (zendesk.com)
As I mention in the post, to get the opaque entities to appear on top of the ghosted entities, like I have shown here in the screencast above, requires a change in Environment.Draw3D() and this is requires a complete deviation from native Eyeshot and you have to manually draw all entities yourself, which is not a minor thing.
