Cut Transparent removes surfaces that have transparent or invisible materials. These are common in models from game engines where effects like glass, invisible hair planes, or alpha-mapped textures exist.

## When to use this

When your model has flat invisible planes or see-through surfaces that shouldn't be part of the physical print. Common with:

* Character models from VRChat or VRoid
* Game-ready models from Unity or Unreal
* Models with glass or alpha-transparency effects

## Settings

### Enable

Toggle on or off. **Default: Off.**

<Tip>
  If your model looks correct but has unexpected flat surfaces sticking out, try enabling Cut Transparent.
