Hello everyone!

In NX8.5 assembly one of the components, when switched to lightweight representations shows partially shaded feather and reports "Some lightweight representations" instead of "All lightweight representations". I could not find the reason. How to fix it? Where to have a look?

 
Is the Component a sub-Assembly?

Hello, John!

No, it's not. It contains solid bodies and some UDF's, which in turn consist of solid and sheet bodies. But other similar components are in full lightweight reperentation.

 
It could be that some, but not all, of the bodies in the Component do not have lightweight representations. Could some of these parts be from older versions of NX which have not yet been updated to the latest version?

All files were born in NX8.5.
I already tried to delete and re-create lightweight representations in a file but it did not help. That's why I an a bit confused.
