"Modeler Error when updating Hidden Line Display"

"Modeler Error when updating Hidden Line Display"

"Modeler Error when updating Hidden Line Display"

(OP)
Has anyone seen this error?  I get it in drafting when updating a view of a particular assembly.

"Modeler Error when updating Hidden Line Display"

How do I fix it?  I've run part cleanup, changed all sorts of settings within the view, etc.  Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks all.

RE: "Modeler Error when updating Hidden Line Display"

Make sure that you run part clean-up on ALL of the individual component files and NOT just the assembly or the drawing file as this is most likely a problem with a bad solid model, which means that if clean-up doesn't help (which likely to be the case) you may have to use Examine Geometry on all of your models to make sure that there isn't something topologically wrong with any of them.  Also be suspicious of any models that were imported from a foreign system via IGES or STEP.  If it proves to be one of them that is the problem you have to use the Heal Geometry utility on them.

Thanks John, it's the little details we sometimes forget.  That should help.
