      The beam profile that appears (if you have the beam Display style set to Solid Beams) in Spaceclaim as a transparent entity is just a preview of sorts, it is not a solid you can grab or alter. You cannot make this beam profile “preview” be non-transparent. The beam line itself is the entity that contains the beam properties. If you want to display that beam profile as non-transparent, as a workaround I guess you could create a new solid with the same dimensions of the beam preview.
