Transparency of patches doesn't work right...

Hello,

I have cobbled up a method to plot rectangles and scatter points in 3D space. I need to set the transparency of individual patches, but it seems to either be all transparent, or all opaque. And a value of 1 is not opaque? I think I built this wrong, perhaps. I attached the 2 m files here. I pass a transparency value into the function, but the patches don't have unique names...

Any help appreciated! Dave

Seems switching to the method below solved it:

h=patch(x(:,i),y(:,i),z(:,i),[.5 .5 .5], 'facealpha',0.3);
