Surface Bodies are not Shown in Derived Component

[BeKirra]

I notice all surface bodies are not shown in derived component.

Did I miss something?

Inventor 2023

Your helps are much appreciated.

Hi, I'm having a similar issue, I can't turn on or off anything, not even solids. 

I've asked Johnson to check it for me. Works perfectly fine in 2026 so might be a bug.

Did you check Representation tab. Is a non-Primary Design View linked?

Yes, it was in a non-primary view.

And thanks for your info.

Hope the earlier Inventor releases can be updated apart from 2025. 😀

This always catches me out because it's on a different tab. Hopefully we can redesign this dialogue one day and make it more obvious. 

I think this will be the same on all versions. If the link checkbox is ticked, you are asking it to remain associative, i.e. it's always going to reflect the view you selected. This means you can't change the representation by turning geometry on or off.
