I am building sculptural instructions in MLCad, and I create them
topographically (layer by layer with each layer as a step).

I use Top & Side views predominantly, and as move from layer to layer, I'd
like to see the previous layers ghosted or grayed out.  This is so that in
the top view, I can differentiate between the current layer's bricks & the
ones below.

Note: The color of the previous layers' bricks should still be identifiable,
but the saturation greatly reduced (ie. high brightness, low contrast)

Is this possible in MLCad?


Not possible in MLCad but you can do this using LPub.  It will create
building instrcution images with the previous steps in a different color
and/or faded.
