can't get part to rebuild - rebuild symbol won't disappear

can't get part to rebuild - rebuild symbol won't disappear

(OP)
For some reason a part in an assembly I'm working on won't completely rebuild. I can't get rid of the rebuild icon even if I step through each feature in the offending part.

I've tried ctrl-Q, and pacing through the entire assembly to no avail.

I really want to generate some file outputs for mould making, but I can't trust the created geometry if the rebuild icon keeps showing.

Bbblargh...

I figured out what was wrong. Nevermind.

My assembly is comprised of very interrelated parts. It looks like SWorks got an icecream headache trying to propagate an error caused by circularly referenced parts. I ended up deleting the non rebuilding feature to uncover a chain of errors.
