Hi again Elaine,
The process you described seems to work nicely - redrawing the surfaces looks to have worked and 'reset' the cap behaviour.
Thanks!

Hi chimera team,
Is there an easy way to control the transparency of a surface and its clipping cap separately?
I managed to do this in one session where the caps are solid, but the rest of the surface is transparent (e.g. see this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-WQtUdYWbITetPl2RgRtU96eXKUj3_v5/view?usp=sharing )

However in a different session I'm struggling to figure out how I achieved this. If I alter the surface colour in the Inspect dialog, it sets the surface and cap transparency to be the same. If I change the suface cap colour in the Effects > Side View dialogue, it gives the desired differential transparency, but colours ALL the surface endcaps identically which isn't what I want.
Help me unpick what I did!
Many thanks
