Layer Transparency

About Layer Transparency

A layer can be made transparent so that the background or layers beneath will show through. The degree of "blending" is controlled by a percent from 0 to 100. Zero is opaque and 100% is completely transparent or not seen. Transparency is useful when displaying LIDAR data on imagery such as orthophotographs.

NOTE: Layer transparency is supported in the ArcMap extension only.

How to Modify Layer Transparency

Transparency Slider

1. Within the Symbology Property Page, click and drag the button in the slider control.
2. With the left mouse button pressed, move the mouse to the left or right to decrease or increase transparency respectively.
3. Release the left mouse button at the transparency percent desired.

Another option within LP360 for Windows:

1. Right click the layer you wish to alter in the Table of Contents
2. Click 'Transparency' to open the Transparency dialog.

Tip For more precise transparency values, type the percent value in the text box. The value must be between 0 and 100 in whole numbers.
