Conveyor cannot be seen through a transparent wall

Hello all,

As you can see in the attached image, the conveyor does not seem to render at all when viewed through the transparent wall.

The other objects are clearly visible, but only the conveyor is not visible at all, which is unnatural.

I encountered this behavior in the 2024 version, and it is the same when I checked with Update 2.

Not really a bug but a rendering limitation. The render order is important for transparent objects. They will only appear transparent for objects rendered after them. The rendering order depends on the order in the model tree (with subnodes being rendered before their parent objects). Move the "Walls" above the "ConveyorSystem" in the tree and the conveyor will be visible through the wall.

Thank you for your explanation. I understand the cause of this behavior and how to resolve it.

I hope that in future versions, the default node order will be such that a conveyor is visible through the wall.
