This rear garden design features a lawned area with a paved, screened entertaining space. The species symbols illustrate the ability of gCADPlus software to apply transparency to closed entities such as polylines, polygons, and circles. For example, applying transparency to a symbol for a tree enables hardscape elements and understory plants to be visible through the tree canopy.
Tip: Using entities with transparency is also useful if you want to make subtle changes to the colour of a filled entity.
Tip: If transparency is applied to entities in a drawing, it is impossible to use PDF writers such as CutePDF, PDFWriter, and BullZip to print a high-resolution PDF copy of the design. We provide a SAVE As PDF option on the File drop-down menu.
