5 To set transparent dimming of all objects not involved in the clash, select the Transparent Dimming check
box. This option can only be used with the Dim Other option, and will render all items that are not involved
in the clash transparent, as well as gray. The level of dimming transparency can be customized in the Options
Editor. By default, 70% transparency is used.
TIP Try using this option as you highlight all clashes in the Scene View (by selecting the Highlight All check box).
You can see the clashes through surrounding objects.
