I want to make an actual 3 light pendant model (pictured below) that's coming with our kitchen remodel. It has frosted glass upside-down cup shaped light shades. I know how to make walls transparent under Modify 3D View. I can make a circle wall to form the cup and you can double-click the room tool (upper floor) to make the circle surface inside the closed circle wall. I'll work with a large size circle wall for more side segments and copy and scale everything down later. But you can't directly make a floor translucent. Too bad I can't make a circle (disk-shaped) wall for that. I've read other threads about modifying the MTL file or naming items (in the finished OBJ model?) sweethome3d_window_pane. I'm not exactly clear on that as I'm still learning techniques. Any tips or suggestions? My last resort is to borrow someone else's model to modify and adapt but I'd rather make my own from scratch.
