+2Hello,
this is going to sound stupid, but I cannot find anything in the help, so asking here. I’ve got a lucidchart diagram. I’ve added an azure virtual network shape. When at the front of other objects, you can see them through it. How do you stop that happening ?
I would like to be able to have in literally on top obscuring things, not like a pane of glass. It’s already set to 100% opacity but you can see through it. I’ve resorted to putting a solid filled box under it.
Many thanks,
Ian

Hi
Thank you confirming! There is currently not a way to change the opacity on a shape’s background, additionally the transparent background for this shape is intended. However, as a workaround, you can place a shape behind this shape (like you mentioned you’ve done), and then add this new shape to your library. This way, you don’t have to continually add a new background to each new shape you use. You can do this by going to More Shapes > My Libraries > Add/select a Library > Drag your shape into the selected library.

Thanks for posting in the community! What is the name of the shape you are using?

+2Hi Kelsey, that is an awesome answer and the video clip really helps. I am glad it’s not me and that is the way it works, like it or not.
Many thanks for this.
