is it possible to create a semi-transparent dashboard?

is it possible to create a semi-transparent dashboard? This, to be able to see the graphs in action, while still having wide visibility of the 3d view in the layer underneath.

FlexSim 17.2.2

It is on the dev list to make it so that you can render dashboard charts in the 3D view, but you cannot do that right now.

You can use the Video Recorder to record the 3D view and record a dashboard chart in a separate layer on top of it, but you can't do that directly within the 3D view.

See the attached model and video:

Hi @Phil BoBo :

Is there a progress update on this issue? Or is it feasible to set the transparency of individual charts, i.e. the Dashboard container remains unchanged and only the transparency of individual charts is changed?

You can render charts in the 3D view following the example in Show State Pie and Statistics in 3D Model? - FlexSim Community

Nothing has been done about chart transparency.

Yes, I have studied the way you mentioned. But actually what I want to achieve is to complete the construction of the big data screen in FlexSim, Dashboard is a good carrier, usually we see the big data screen are cool background charts + real-time movement of the model, charts and display 3D interface in Dashboard can be very well done, if the transparency of the chart can be adjusted, and then import some external cool background images. That would be the perfect data screen. Is it possible to consider this in the future?
