How to make a mesh transparent.

[juanccilleruelo]

Hello all!
I'm new with vista and with python too!

I have a cube representing the whole dimensions of a furniture piece. Inside this cube, I want to create each board of the furniture piece. What I need is to set this main cube transparent in a percentage.

How can I set the color and the percentage of transparency of this main cube?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Try something like

import pyvista as pv
pl = pv.Plotter()
pl.add_mesh(pv.Cube(), opacity=0.5)
# add in other meshes
pl.show()

I understand that the opacity parameter is to modify how the mesh is added to the plotter, not a property of the own mesh created with the pv.Cube().

Thank you!

Perhaps you prefer a wire grid: pl.add_mesh(mesh, style='wireframe', color='k', line_width=2) see here
