Imported Family remains highlighted when not selected - how to stop this?

As you can see in the image below, my shower pan remains highlighted in green even when not selected. The family was downloaded from Kohler's website and was a 2011 version that was updated to 2021. (2020.1.2) How to I change the visibility so it well appear normal like the rest of the fixtures? (Assume nothing, I'm a noob.)

 

Thanks!

you need to edit the family and change from there, visibilty setting or if necessary need to change the colour and see if helps. thanks

Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any settings in the family or visibility settings that affect this. It's might be the color that the thing is drawn in, instead of highlighting, as when it is selected, the green does effect the color of the normal selection color. I have attached the file to see if anyone else sees the same thing.

edit your family > type VG > pick your the objects > edit family (because it was nested) and save and reload. go to object styles and change colour, please attached. thanks

That took me a bit, but I can get it all worked out from here- the VG shortcut I was not aware of. Thanks!
