So after installing solidworks 2021, I noticed that if I try to overlay 2 of the same part to see what the changes are in an assembly, the way transparency is handled now is different. In 2020 it was VERY obvious where the changes are, in 2021 it seems like the transparent surface is always overlayed overtop the solid one and makes it impossible to tell where changes are without it being a through-hole.


Attached is a comparison between the two. Is there a way I can make the transparency work like it did in 2020? This is detrimental to my current workflow. I'm aware there is a comparison tool in solidworks, but it's over-the-top for what I'm using it for and not the cleanest experience (especially when trying to compare multiple parts at once).
