Colorful edges on a part - how to get rid?

Post by CADer »

From time to time some of parts gets colorful edges (see attached screenshot). How it happens and how to turn them off (View/Visibiliy/Hide all does not help)?

The part on the screenshot is a mirror, so there's not much that can be edited there.


P.S. You can find the project file in the A part has incorporated geometry in this thread: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40303

Thanks for not uploading more than once, but instead of saying "a few threads below" you should give a link.

@freedman
Yes, indeed it seems it might be related the part having an issue, or not - after reopening the project file this morning the lines disappeared (did I modify something yesterday that solved the issue - no idea...).

@chrisb
I've added the link.
