Make parts look solid (non-translucent) in Part Studio
I'm just starting out with Onshape, having used SolidWorks a lot in the past.
When I model in Parts Studio, the objects are translucent (I can see all sides/edges in the model at once) which makes it difficult to work with and does not give the view I am looking for. In tutorials and other Google images I see online, all the objects look solid, but I can't find any settings to change this and all searches have tried come up frustratingly dry. The part is not set to transparent on the 'make transparent' feature.
When I view the part in Assembly view, it does show up as solid; however I have inserted images onto some of the faces which do not show in this and so the view is also not that helpful for my needs.
Does anyone know how I can either make the part solid in Parts Studio or make the images show in the Assembly view? Many, many thanks for any help you can give as I'm about to give up with Onshape and find another program.
I have a student license in case relevant.

Do you know if there's a way to set images so that they don't show through the model? If not, I can use the workaround of hiding images that are on the back of a view which still achieves a satisfactory outcome.
FYI - I also ran the check site and everything came back compatible.
