Can I make selected faces transparent?

q8suger

Hi all - there's probably an easy answer to this but I haven't been able to hunt it out.  I select a face of my editable poly it goes red - this is good, I need an indication of what's selected; my question is if it's possible to make this red 50% transparent so I can still see the diagram behind it? im using now max 7 i recently change the display drivers to opengl

A couple things.

1. Put your program name in the thread title.

Alt+X is see through mode.

Or better yet, you can create an animated material by keyframing the opacity channl with different levels of opacity and use the next/previous keyframes hotkeys to cycle through.
