Inside of components have turned light green for seemingly no reason

Inside of components have turned light green for seemingly no reason

So, in the image included you can see that whenever I make a hole or extrude through this component it is light green. It is not there when rendering, however this is still very annoying. It has only affected this specific component.

Any help to make this normal would be appreciated!

Don't know if this is related but I can get this same behaviour by
 - set the Appearance of a Body to green (use "body" mode)

 - set the Appearance of each face of the body to grey (use "face" mode)
Then the body looks grey because all its faces are grey but if you do an operation which adds new faces, the new faces pick up the appearance of the body, not the neighbouring faces.

Is it possible that someone, earlier on, set the Appearance of the body to light green?

Unfortunately this solution hasn't worked. Changing the colour only shows while in the render tab but if I apply the colour (or a material) in design nothing changes.

I can verify that there are no color overrides here, at least that I can see.

 

But, I think there may be something wrong with this body.  If I do a section analysis, I don't see any material in the middle of it:

I can't say for certain that this is related to that green face, but it's not good either way.  I'll have to dig into this more to see if I can learn anything.  Whatever this is, it seems to start from the very first extrude of this body...

Hi! thank you for looking into this, this does appear to be incredibly strange... I am unsure if this can be fixed however everything appears to function fine despite the broken component.

 

I will continue like this unless a fix is found.

well, now I feel silly...  I missed the obvious here.  This green is from a Minimum Radius analysis.  Apparently, this analysis also has the side effect of this hollow appearance - I'm not sure that is intentional or not.  But, your component is fine, there is nothing wrong with it.

Wow, thank you so much! I am an utter noob at Fusion 360 so I must have clicked on it by accident while messing around. Again, thank you I appreciated your help a lot.
