Hello I trying to cad a waterproof container for a camera and need to make a transparent window. I also want to know how to do this for other applications. I know you can view elements translucently by doing SHIFT-T but is there a way to make the see through property permanent like an attribute of a material?

Yes - If you right-click on a part in the parts list, and then select "Edit appearance", you can change the color and the transparency of the part.
Directly under the grid of colors, there is a slider with an "A" next to it. This slider adjusts the transparency of the part.
