I have a part installed twice into an assembly. Both are the same part taken from the same library. One is showing transparent. How do I turn that off? Could this be caused from a broken mate? How do I add another mate? It is not an option when I "edit Definition, placement"

I should have made it clearer, this issue happens once the this assembly is used in another assy. It is (2) belleville washers with a grommet. When I put the belleville assy into my pump assy, one of the washers is now transparent.

It's possible there is interference. Since you don't supply an image it's just a guess as to what happened.

The usual case for differently colored items is that an Appearance has been assigned at the assembly level. You use the Appearance Manager to add or remove Appearances.

I have tried to "Clear Appearances" and got no where. I tried to delete a mate and was going to reattach but there doesn't seem to be a delete option. There isn't an option to add another mate either.

I get "not fully constrained" but can't add more.

Attached is a view from within the assembly.
