(OP)
Is there a way to un-hydrid a CatPart? I need to remove this from a part for Honda.
Thanks for the help

RE: un-hybriding a part
There's no easy method to do it. (It might be quicker to just rebuild the part!) But the process is to add new Part Bodies and Geometric Sets after disabling Hybrid Design, and then reorder (or move) everything out of the hybrid part body and into the new Body and Geometric Set. Once the hybrid body is empty, it can be deleted.
RE: un-hybriding a part
Go to Tools, Options, Infrastructure, Part Infrastructure, Part Documentation and turn thr Hybrid design off.
Open a new product.
Insert the Hybrid Part into the Product.
Go to Tools, Generate CatPart from Product and it should create a new part which isn't Hybrid. Note you might need to delete unused part bodies from the tree.

Unfortunately, my system Admin has locked the Hybrid Design option so I can't test it myself.
JEC - let us know if this works

Its a painful lession of what not to do and to have your adminstrator lock out the setting like in Jackk's facility.

RE: un-hybriding a part
Next I spoke to our cat and he suggested I tried using the downward compatibility utility to save a hybrid part back to a per-hybrid version and unsuprisingly I got a dumb solid - which does at least prove that I am indeed as much use as our cat.
Have tried doing various other fiddling and farting to move the geometry into Geometric sets but that wasn't much help either.
It would seem that once you create solid geometry in a Hybrid part body that's it and there's no going back.
Will continue to try other options - I like a challenge - that's why I love V5!!!
p.s. Must remember to kick the cat when I get in.
