Wireframe Error

Hi All,

I've got a rather large assembly, that when I click on "wireframe", it
all goes into a wireframe view apart from a dozen or so components,
which resolutely remain shaded.

See a sample screengrab here:

Now, I've also noticed when I drop these subassemblies onto a drawing
sheet these same parts momentarily show up shaded (sometimes happens
during drawing rebuilds) before appearing as they normally should in a
drawing (linestyle over shaded).

Now, is this a setting that's been inadvertently checked on some parts/
subassemblies or is this a bug?

The parts affected seem pretty random, and have been modelled by
several different people. If I open the affected parts on their own I
can get them to wireframe fine in the PART view, but it remains shaded
in the assembly view.

I've checked and there's no colours that have been added to faces,
bodies , assemblies etc that are affecting it, so I've no idea where
to look next.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

George.

 

Check if displaystate for the specific component within the assembly
is changed.

It looks like they have been forced to be shaded rather than going with
whatever is the global setting. In the FeatureManager area, look at the
upper RH corner - you will see a chevron - click it. Then see if those
parts are forced there.

Wayne, Thanks a million! That solved it! I generally change my display
states the old fashioned way and while I was aware of the method you
suggested, it never occurred to look there.

Thanks again for the winning tip!
