Yes there's away to do it.. If you have vertical mapper.
here are the steps to follow:
1. take your polygon layer and with vertical mapper use the function:
"region to grid"
your polygon vetor file will be converted to a raster file.
2. close all
3. open your new grid file.
4. in the vertical mapper grid manager go in the tools section
5. under tools there's the "export" function.
6. Export in a tiff file the close all
7. open your new polygon_tiff.tab
8. Then you can modify the translucency of your layer.

Also, if needed, we have a tool that "fades" polygons" by
specified percentages (does not make them transparent, just fades the
existing colors (foreground and background) towards white.) This tool
is
VERY handy in some circumstances, though not necessarily this one. Let
us
know if you are interested.

Is there a way to fill a polygon with a translucent
color? I don’t want a pattern with a transparent background (what
I’m using now). The only mention of translucent color I can find in
my documentation is creating a translucent raster image, but I just
want
a “color wash” to use over an aerial photo layer.
