I just upgraded to the latest version having not used it for a couple of months.

I had the same thin happen to me, If some of you parts were imported from step files like mine it look like there may have been import issues when bringing into the latest version.

Hi

The red color indicates some geometry parameter (curvature) exceeding some threshold. Have a look at this previous post.

> Hi @Xdrakosha My understanding is the red color indicates that the geometry exceeds certains limits’ especially curvature limit. This happens when fillets are wider than the face they are rounding, or if you twist a body too much. Please have a look at this post [Inserted Step file - #2 by PEC](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/inserted-step-file/30101/2) On way to find the root cause is to insert breakpoint in the history to redo step by step the creation of the body, identify the step involved, and then edit the operation’s parameters until the red colo…

Right. It was an imported step file so I’m not in control of the design of it. I suppose it doesn’t matter much as the imported step file is just a computer circuit board that I am designing a case around, it just looks messy and distracting.
