How can I get Matlab R2016a to show hidden surfaces?

Creating a 3D array and slicing it with transparent surfaces is a possible volume visualization as of MATLAB R2014a. In R2016a, however, densely packed surfaces are shown as empty except for the surfaces at the outside. I assume there is a link between the new graphics system introduced in R2014b.

Would it be possible to reproduce the behavior of R2014a in R2016a?

    % code example:
[x,y,z] = meshgrid(-1:0.01:1);
v = exp(- x.^2 - y.^2 - z.^2);
sl = [-1:0.1:1];
h = slice(x,y,z,v,sl,sl,sl);
shading interp
set(h,'FaceAlpha',0.1)

Try changing the value in

set(h,'FaceAlpha',0.1) ;

I think for ~0.5 both figures are same.

Thank you for your fast response! However, it still does not look as intended. The spatial impression is still missing.

Play around with the value....

While it might look increasingly similar, it will not lead to the same effect. "Hidden" surfaces are presented as zeros in the newer MATLAB release.
