      Can anyone tell me why the wall component in the attached model has a black bounding box when selected, but only until another component is added to the model. After another component is added, the bounding boxes return to the blue color that is part of the style. This behavior started after I added the construction lines to the face of the wall.
      Black bounding box until another component is inserted

        It is related to the watermark titleblock....

        remove it and all is good.

          @Rich O Brien, the black bounding box doesn't seem to change the behavior of the components and I like the time savings the title block gives me when preparing models for print. I was really just wondering if someone could explain what is happening.

            This has me puzzled because if I turn on the model axis it then returns to blue. Toggle off the axis and it goes black again.

            I'll keep investigating...

              Weird if it explode it one level it magically moves if I hover the move tool over it.

              Something is up here....unless I'm missing the obvious

                I noticed that if I drill down inside the wall component that:

                1. The dimensions and construction lines have blue bounding boxes
                2. The sub wall component has a black bounding box

                  Looks to be a bug in their OpenGL drawing where the correct colour isn't set.
