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.

@EvanReese thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. Took me a minute to figure why it didn't work when I added my part to the list…evidently I had to add a "feature" to the list instead.

Likely because you had already manually assigned a color to the part in question. Once it's been done manually it overrides changes made by a feature unless you go to part properties and click the blue button to reset them. Selecting a feature actually chooses the faces associated with that feature.
