How do I change fill colors to transparent fill colors

[Krentenbol op reis]

I'm trying to highlite different parts in a visio drawing. But by filling a
shape de original disappears. Is there a way to color a shape but leaving it
transparent to show the original?

It depends on your version of Visio. In Visio 2003, there is a slider to
control the transparency. This feature is not available on older versions of
Visio.

I am new to Visio. I have converted some symbols from AutoCAD over to Visio.
They were blocks in AUtoCAD and are now just stencil shapes in Visio. I want
to keep them to assigned layers for specification, but when i fill an object
in Visio, like a triangle which is used as a Telco/Data Device, It will not
fill if it assigned to only one layer. If I unassign the layer, it then fills
the object with a solid color.
How can I go about doing this the easy way or is there even a way?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks
