 Somewhere in the build, it seems I have converted my assembly into sheet metal. 

Can anyone guide me to reverting this to an assembly with a sheet metal component?

 

Thanks

It is not an issue.  All it means is that you did not create a component before you created you first body as sheet metal.  If you look down in your browser, you probably find a sheet metal body which was the first thing your created instead using the Create Component command first and then the sheet metal body.  There is not way to change the symbol now and again all it will effect is constantly remind you of your small error.  Always create a component first, make sure it is active, and then all sketches and bodies go under it.  If you ever edit the component, make sure you make it active again before editing.
