>2. Hope this helps. Yes it does! Try reading the trainsim tutorials that are available free on the Amabilis web site. www.amabilis.com particularly the lighting and materials ones. Full details of how to make transparent windows are in there.Canvas does handle transparency slightly diferently to other 3D software and the trainsim export plugin handles asigning the correct material names for you. But you must produce the transparency the correct way in Canvas for it to work. see the tutorials.Hope That helps!Best Regards,
