Help! Parts in fusion 360 are transparent!

[GrizWiz]

The parts I am modeling in fusion are transparent while others are not! How do I fix this?

You have made them components instead of bodies, as far as I remember then what ever one is selected will be solid while the rest will be transparent. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that is what you did. There is either a setting for making the components not transparent or try making them bodies again. I haven't used fusion 360 for awhile so I might be wrong.

I'll load up fusion 360 and do some investigating myself.

Just a second I'm in fusion 360 trying to remember how. I'll let you know when I figure it out.

you see that little do beside motormount1? That means you have selected it which will cause the other components to become transparent. Unselect that dot by clicking on it and it should fix everything.

 

[GrizWiz]

wont let me unclick it

 

[Corsair714]

Nevermind that might not work for you. Sorry, I haven't used fusion for awhile. You have to somehow unselect it, but I don't remember how.

ok I figured it out. Click on plotterpartmotormount and select the dot beside it. That will make everything visible again.

Yeah no

 

[Corsair714]

Yeah no

Really?!?!? I just did it on my computer and it worked for me. What does everything look like now? Did anything change?

If you want to work on multiple components at the same time, make the active component their parent. (ie, click the circle next to PlotterPartMount, it will appear when you hover around it.)

That's what I just told him to do.

Ya, I saw that too. I hope you figure out fusion 360. It's a great tool when understood and used properly.
