A part has turned invisible, trying to get it to reappear

A part has turned invisible, trying to get it to reappear

(OP)
Hi all,

I have a part that, when I open it, I no longer see anything. If I click on a feature in the design tree, an outline of the feature gets displayed and "sticks".  Ie, I can rotate, zoom, and generally see where the part is "supposed" to be. Also, I can open and edit sketches. But the part itself ... is... just... not there anymore??

I thought maybe it just got set to completely invisible through the appearances - so I clicked "remove all part appearances" (or something worded very similarly) but no help.  

I must have just fat fingered some command that does this, but cannot find any relevant info.

Can anyone help?  I attach the part itself.


Thanks,
EDH

Open the Solid Bodies folder in the FM tree, and Show the body.

As CBL suggested.

Or, Right-Click on any of the features in the tree and click the 'show' icon (pair of glasses)

Great, thanks, knew it was something that simple, didn't realize you could hide a part from within the part file itself.

And now I realize the "hide components" icon in assemblies is a part icon with glasses.  All this time I thought it was a part icon with breasts!

Show us your components?
