3MX Transparency

Dear Bentley Dev team,

Please add support for editing 3MX files in a text editor to enable model transparency.
Currently, there is no variable available to control or adjust transparency.

While it is possible to view multiple models by editing the file in a text editor, the ability to assign transparency would provide significant benefits. For example, it would make it easier to review areas that have been modified by overlaying updated and original models. Another practical use case would be the ability to view an RGB model and an IR model simultaneously within the same viewer.

Regards,
Michael Kikinzon

    For desktop you can use Agisoft Viewer now supports 3mx format and it is able to attach multiple layers unlike in CC viewer. Online 3MX viewer unfotunatlely doesn't support multiple models in one 3MX. Also the ability to have multiple textures like RGB and IR is already in 3MX format(multi-layered textures) but never implemented. Bentley moved to 3SM but it doesn't provide any benefits it is even worse format than 3MX.
