Abstract
Computer-implemented methods for automatically adjusting an opacity of layers in a three-dimensional (3D) object are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a request to display data for a 3D object having a plurality of layers, and providing, for display, data for a view of the 3D object. An opacity of each of the layers of the 3D object in the view is adjusted based on a position of the view of the 3D object. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
