Hello,
I have a problem with an assembly in Solid Edge.
I downloaded some files on an engine builder website, and when I open the assembly, I miss one part. When I open it in part, it works perfectly.
I noted two things: the basic color of this part is a sort of light green, normally the part should be gray (as the other parts), and in the edge bar, the different features are named: Copy of...

Somebody have ever had the problem ? I try to fix it but...till now, unsuccessfully.

PS: Sorry for my poor English...I'm not a native speaker.

I guess the part has been imported, so there is a good chance that what you're seeing in the part is only construction surface instead of a solid body. That's why you don't see it in the assembly.

If I'm right, to fix this you have to create a base feature with the construction surfaces and if necessary some boolean operations to complete the part.

If you need more details I'll be glad to help.
