Inventor 2024 No volume in solid body

I have a strange error on a part in Inventor 2024 witch I have created in a older version of Inventor. 

Inventor 2024 doesn't see any volume in the part while it is a normal solid body and therefore I can not add a chamfer or anything else witch is normal in a solid body. In a previous version of Inventor I already made some chamfer to the part but I can't edit them anymore.  

Somebody any idea what goes wrong here? The part is in the attachment.

You'll have to reconstruct it:
3D Model tab > Modify (expand the flyout panel) > Copy Object (select Repaired Geometry).

Hi! This is a bug. Somehow the solid body is incorrectly tagged. There is bookkeeping error. So Inventor assumes there isn't a solid body, while there is clearly one. Though this part looks simple, it might have been edited repeatedly. The solid body is #10 as opposed to #1. To fix it, move EOP to below the Extrusion and delete it and recreate it. Move EOP down and fix up the Chamfer and the Hole.

Do you know how to reproduce the behavior from scratch? There is a bug to fix here.

Many thanks!

Thanks for your answer. 

I have tried this already but then it looses its reference faces. The part is used in more then 200 assemblies so that is no option. 

 

The option "copy object" and select "repair body" works for me but unfortunately the part gets two solid bodies so the mass isn't correct anymore. 

 

Are there more solutions to this error?
