Ran a search, but couldn't find this subject- master feature error

[begnor]

Running V5 R14 for Ford/TCe. I have this model, I started it, another designer worked on it for a while, and now I am trying to finish up the work. I need to get a sym/op of this right hand part, using paste special- result with link. When I copy the part body, attempt the past special, this error text comes up:
Copy Paste is impossible due to selection problems in master part or in master feature. The feature naming is incomplete. Recreate the master feature.

I have looked into eveything I know how to do, to try to remedy this situation, including having Tech Support from Virtual Services here in MI looking into what is the problem. I have looked through the Paramaterization Analysis window, and don't see any problems show up in the window. The guy at Virtual and I am at a loss for an explanation. Anybody here have an idea as to what I can do short of re-modeling the entire part?

begnor - I have had this error, it was a corrupt surface that was used in the creation of a join. This join split a solid. As you can tell it was a pain to track. CATDUA did not clean it (I cant remember if it told me an error). Does the Part body have a split in it. If so try to copy that to another part. I copied the surfaces creating my join to another part, this flagged the surface that was the problem.

unfortunately for me, theres a bunch of splits and boolean operations that i will have to track down and work out. Thanks for the reply and the info.
