Good day

So I recently created a see through appearance for expanded metal as discussed here:

https://forum.solidworks.com/message/1029031?commentID=1029031&et=watches.email.thread#comment-1029031

The appearance looks nice but when I view it directly from the top it sees to disappear. See attached images.

When I turn the part even slightly the appearance is visible again. I think there might be something wrong with the texture I created.

Any help would be appreciated.
