Make part with conditional transparency?

Hello.

Is there a way make a part transparent based on configuration (aka add a checkbox to make a part transparent or not)? (via appearance or transparency feature)

Thank you.

    FeatureScript's setProperty with PropertyType.COLOR can set both the RGB and alpha (opacity) of a part, although that workflow will of course be for part studios only.

    Here's an example using my Part Color feature.

    Since this was asked in drawing section of the forum, not featurescript section, would you please provide little more details how to achieve this?

    You don't need to know featurescript for my solution. Just use the Part Color feature and configure the alpha value.
