B3D not showing responding to Entity Alpha

Hi I'm writing some code that uses the LoadAnimMesh Command with a b3D file. I've tried to use EntityAlpha to control the opacity of the mesh with no luck. If I set it to 0 the mesh dissapears, if I set it to .1, then mesh is completely visible. I copied the EntityAlpha code and set it to affect a plane instead of a my B3d mesh object and the alpha setting worked correctly. I'm not sure why it's not working on the mesh. Has anyone ran into this?

Check if you have enabled the vertex colours or force alpha blending flags in the entity brush. If you don't have to tools to do this, download my B3D Tweak Utility below.
