Comments

Default attributes for individual parts can be specified by including a *Part() statement for each part and using the name of the specific part in place of the Default option.

Transparent parts are translucent and reveal the obscured entities behind them.

Opaque parts are solid and hide the entities behind them.

FullTrace displays the traced path without animating the model. The model must be animated for TraceBySteps and TraceLast to display the path of motion.

This statement is used in the Animation window.
