Hi @baumstan

There currently isn’t a way to make a bounding box transparent. Can you share your use case for this feature so we can bring it back to the team?

@baumstan - I’m not sure I understand your question, but we do have a [shear augmentation](https://blog.roboflow.com/shear-augmentation/) which can also be used as a [bounding box only augmentation](https://blog.roboflow.com/introducing-bounding-box-level-augmentations/).

Additionally, Roboflow Annotate now supports polygons so you can use the polygon creation tool to create non-rectangular quadrilaterals.
