Transparent stickers - Alexandre Bourdais - 2014-12-07
Hello,
In the 820674 sheet from the 6353 Lego set, all the stickers have their background transparent. I tried different things but I don't know if I can keep the transparent color 47 or if I must use the main color 16.
With the transparent color, if we see the part from below in LDView, we can see the red back faces of the polygons. Is that a problem ? Or, anyhow, must I keep the 16 color ?
Another question, for my ID parts, I use the number 820674 (820674a, 820674b & 820674c). Bricklinck use 6353stk01. What number should I use ?

You should use the number printed on the sticker sheet - see How are stickers numbered? here

Hi Alexandre,
You must use color 16 for transparent background. This way the user can choose underlying brick color to get the appearance of a fully transparent sticker. Using sheet number (820674a, 820674b & 820674c) is the way to go. See specif. here http://www.ldraw.org/article/339 (though I must admit that the paragraph about color 16 is not extremely clear to me...)

OK Chris, I wanted to be sure.
Thanks Philippe.
