Part of assembly not showing up in drawing

I have a purchased part with a file that was provided from the manufacturer. It is originally a Solidworks file. When I bring it in, it looks fine in the model, but when I open a drawing with it most of the part isn't showing up. What could be causing it and how do I fix it?

It looks like the part is mostly surface bodies. In your drawing, right click on the part in the browser and try "Include all Surfaces". It's been a while, but I think that may make them visible in the drawing. You may have to do that for each view.

In the drawing, edit the view > Recovery Options Tab > Check Include Surface bodies.

This worked! Weird spot to have that option though
