Question

Component wire frame in cross section?

Hello,


I have a component in a large assembly that displays fine (no hidden lines, tangent lines dimmed) normally, but when I show a cross section (that doesn't intersect the component at all) the component displays as wireframe and I can't change it?? Any ideas or thoughts?

I've tried excluding this component from the cross section (even though it's untouched) to no avail.


I am working in Creo 2

Is it an imported component, possibly a surfaces model?

If so, you need to create a section using the Solids & Quilts (something like that).

It is an important component and is a surface. So even if the cross section doesn't touch the part I still have to ensure that I choose solids and quilts? Seems a little weird to me, but thanks I'll give it a try. Any other comments are helpful.

thanks again
