# Materials without Transmission

In order to adjust the reflectivity of a material on the platform you would first need to navigate to the specific material that you would like to change and click on the *Edit material* button.

This will open up the material editor. In the material editor the reflectivity is mostly controlled by the Alpha map, so to change the opacity we would need to break this line (see highlighted in red below) and add an adjustment node.

In the recording below you can see how you can add a [RGB Curve](/building-blocks/materials/recolor-a-material/rgb-curves.md) node that you can then use to adjust the opacity.&#x20;

The [RGB Curve ](/building-blocks/materials/recolor-a-material/rgb-curves.md)works the same way as in photoshop. The RGB Curve in this case simply adjusts the brightness of the alpha (the brighter it becomes the less see-through, the darker it becomes the more see-through it becomes). So in order to decrease the see-through simply drag the bottom left point more to the top, like so:

or drag the top-right point and drag it down, like so:

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.colormass.com/building-blocks/materials/adjust-opacity/materials-without-transmission.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
