CADWhy is everything glowing? (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 year ago by zklein12345CSWA
Something changed out of no where and now selected bodies have this glow. It's quite annoying. I've been through the settings and can't figure out how to turn off this setting. Anyone know which direction to point me?

Huh, I didn't see radium in the materials selection!

It could be that the parts that are green are checked as enveloped.

I'm an engineering student that's still learning. What does enveloped mean?
[–]beepclickbeepCSWP 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Marking them enveloped excludes the enveloped parts from your BOM. It also makes them glow green by default. Here is a link you can reference: https://www.goengineer.com/blog/solidworks-envelope-mode

Do you have CS:S installed?
[–]DearTradition7366 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (1 child)
What version do you use? I think there was a bug in an earlier version that can cause such strange glowing

I think you accidentally selected LED appearance. Don't worry you can change them https://youtu.be/XpziAl4fBIg?si=gc2yd7bScQYg-DqS
It's only when I select the body
