Some edges are not showing
-
Hello,
I began working on a model last night and everything was good. Today I continued with the model and I noticed a weird thing...
You know when you hide the edges of the whole model? The faces show without those pesky edges so you can visualize how your model looks with textures and stuff... Well, I haven't started working with textures yet, but after working for a couple of minutes I realized some of my solids were not showing their edges. I didn't do that on purpose, I don't even know if I did something...
I want to see the edges because these solids are not final and I need to further edit them, and without the edges, it's very difficult to do so.
Any suggestions? Also, I googled my issue and I went into wireframe mode to see if they would show up there, but they don't. Also, no luck with activating Hidden Geometry, they don't seem to be hiding, but they do exist because the faces of the solids are showing up.

Hard to tell without seeing your model but here's a guess. You've put the edges on a layer other than Layer 0 and the faces are on a different layer and the layer containing the edges has its visibility turned off.
If you are associating edges and faces with layers other than Layer 0, you are doing it wrong. Keep Layer 0 active at all times and only change layer associations for groups and components.
Have a look at this page from the knowledge Base files.

Bingo!
And thank you!
Sorry for the silly thing. I imported the edges (lines) from CAD and somewhere along the path I turned off the layer. I guess I should've changed all the edges to Layer 0.

It is important to get all those edges and faces onto Layer 0 after importing. As you've seen, not doing so can create problems for you.

You can write "... will create ..." in most cases
