Changing Appearance to be Transparent causes artifacting during interaction with other Parts

I have being making a part studio composed of three parts, one of which is inside of the transparent part. I have done this previously without artifacting between the transparent part and other parts. I am defining artifacting as the colors between the two parts causing visual glitches when moving around. I am including two photos, one of the new Part Studio where the artifacting is occurring and another where it didn't occur. I'm not sure what I did different between the two. Could you please help me stop the artifacting? Thank you!

    Each face is accurate, but tessellated (approximated) for the graphics card - when two faces are coincident, the graphics can confuse which of these approximated triangles should be displayed. It's nothing to worry about - if it bothers you, offset one of the faces by 0.01mm
