Question

Is it possible to make just a piece of a prim invisible.. I have a small area in my build that required covering.. however.. the only possible way I found to cover it has given me a chunk of prim that is sticking out. I need that lil chunk and only that chunk to disappear. Any help would be very appreciative.

You can do it with a texture which may or may not be easy (depends to the complexity of the prim)  If it's a cube or flat panel it could be relatively easy but it's torus or another, more complex, prim it can get real complicated.  For a sculpty or mesh it gets even more difficult.  But to answer your question as asked........"...just a piece of a prim".........I'm afraid the answer is no.  Setting transparency for a prim is setting transparency for the entire prim.........the whole prim or nothing.

 

I'm editing because I just thought of something else....which sort of makes my statement about not being able to make a part of a prim transparent a little false.  You can play with "Cut" and "Slice" to make part of the prim appear transparent.  Play around with those tools in build and see if that helps.

Thank you so much Rolig... it worked. Not sure why I had not thought of it but I guess sometimes you are just to close to the most obvious solution. Luckily the prim is in the air.. so no worries about the shins.. hehe. Ty again.. it was making me crazy! :)))))
