Create Form results in duplicate bodies?

Hi everyone,

I've been following Jamie Scherer's Wii Nunchuck tutorial on YouTube. I successfully created the form but when I came back to it the following day, it looks like there is a duplicate surface layer around the form.

The browser doesn't show the presence of an additional body, so I'm not sure what's happening? Can somebody help?

*** See attached images to see what I mean.

Thanks in advance!

Sort of hard to diagnosis without the model, please attach it. If you do not know how to attach your model, open it in Fusion360, select the File menu and then choose Export and save the .F3D file to your hard drive. Then use the Attachments section of a reply forum post to attach it.

In a parametric design, when you exit Form mode, the T-Spline body is automatically converted into a BRep body. In your case, this is a surface body. When editing the Form, the resulting surface is also shown, dimmed, to give you an idea of the last result. If you don't like the dimmed body showing in Form mode, you can turn this off:
