Is it possible to make an inserted sketch containing an image in an assembly opaque?

A more recent update to Onshape made an image inserted into a sketch visible in the assembly when the sketch was inserted. Previously, only sketch curves would show. 

Because the sketch has a transparent quality it does not produce the effect I want.


Is there a way to make the backside of a sketch opaque so the image is only viewable from one direction?

    You could bring in a surface with the sketch and move it an infinitesimal amount so that it blocks the sketch view from one side.

    Sketch will "bleed" through the surface. All instanced surfaces (regardless of it transparency value) are transparent with respect to a sketch.
    This behavior is also evident in a Part Studio.
