It is #176 (the link is correct), not #174.  Sorry about that.

I have a structure with the silhouette true option and now I want to change the depth cueing to obtain a slice of the structure but with some of the fog coming from the background. The cartoon color disappear gradually as expected, however the black line of the silhouette is 100% or nothing, is there anything I am doing wrong or is it what I should expect? Is there anyway to obtain also that smooth disappearing of the silhouette?
