assembly cut

assembly cut

assembly cut

(OP)
I made a extruded aluminum assembly and went back and made some assembly cuts.  After I made the cuts there are blue surfaces.  See pics. not sure who to explain what Im getting.  How do I get rid or not show them?

wish it was that easy.  I already checked, there are no colors assigned at the part or assembly level.  There are no "blue surfaces" if I roll back or suppress the assembly cuts.

It's the way it was set up.  Not going to redo it for this project.

"where are the assy cuts?" In the assembly?  

I converted entities of the extrusions tangent edges to get my cutting plane.  So the cutting plane is on the same plane as the exterior face of the extrusion.

RE: assembly cut

Maybe this is a "display shaded planes" thing - look in Options - Display/Selection and see if "display shaded planes" is on

No go.  Unchecked it and there still there.  It's not a big deal, zoomed out you can't see them.  Just not sure where it is coming from.
