Ghost components in a design assembly

jon46XEC — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 16:40:04 GMT

When using multi body components in a design , there is a constant "ghost" graphic remnant left behind when the component is moved or jointed into another location. This appears when moving the cursor over the component in the design tree and ghosts of the other bodies will appear semi transparent. The only way to get them to go away is to toggle visibility off - on - off. Visually very confusing and distracting. Is this a graphics glitch or an option?

You could remove (not delete) that component and see if that helps. I am not sure it does, bit it's worth trying).

In general, this isn't a glitch, it is how selection highlighting is working.

Hi! The behavior does not look right to me. It could be a corruption. If possible, please share the f3z file here. The forum experts can help take a closer look.

Many thanks!

Thanks for your attention - Attached is a similar example.

If you hover the cursor over the bottom component in the list, the ghost appears.

I'll have to take back what I said earlier. I don't see that behavior on my machine.

Hi! I am not seeing the behavior on my machine either. It could be bad geometry or corrupted graphics. It might have been cleared out when exporting the f3d. Try uploading the f3d file you attached here. Does the ghost object still exist?

Many thanks!
