Hi I think the transparent isn't supported in STEP file, the transparent material is a specific feature for some proprietary 3d format, and OpenGL video shading related. I don't know if that is also handled by GrabCAD.

Thank you for your reply! I have followed your recommendation of not use a STEP file.

According to this link https://forum.kicad.info/t/step-file-transparency-is-lost/14789/2

The transparency is supported with a WRL file.

So that solve my question.

But wrml isn't CAD exchange format like STEP IGES or others that preserve the projects information, is mainly a mesh geometry only few write Nurbs inside and is also obsolete, now replaced by x3d and there is also glft or glb new formats with many features for the visualization, butI think so in GrabCAD is supported well.
