Visualize a Mesh with Transparency

Question

I have been working with Meshlab, using some meshes (Such as the sample "texturedknot.ply"), currently I have two of this meshes active, one inside the other. In order to view the one inside I have been trying to make the first one transparent.

Changing the alpha level in the .ply file did not work or changing the alpha level in Tool>Options. The closest I got was applying a Shader "xray.gdp" but it applies it to both meshes instead of only one.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or do you know of an alternative software/way to do this?

You can use Open 3D Model Viewer.

You can put different mesh as 'groups' in a combined mesh, you will be able to select only one group and 'see through' it the other groups in the mesh.
