How do I get 3D materials to show translucent glass materials?

I am trying to create a product component in Illustrator using 3d materials and its coming out fine, I added in the tinted glass material, because on the adobe website it said it would be translucent. However when I apply it to my artwork it is completely solid. How do I keep the transparency ?

Translucency

The amount of light able to transmit through the surface. It must be the property of material that you have applied. Here it looks in Stager for Glass

Try to change fill opacity as in image below.  It become transparent or mimic translucency

    I don't think transparency is supported in the "new" 3D effect.

    Some sort of transparency must be supported, because there is this:

    Yes, sort of. Looks more like a mistake.

    Did you turn on Raytracing for rendering this on your artboard?

    Not sure what you are saying. The material looks seriously opaque and not anywhere like real glass. You would have to find a different material/ tweak the parameters.
