Linked solid model displays as a wireframe (by wolfv)
I started a new file and linked to a .slvs solid model.
The sold model is displayed as a wireframe.
Is there a way to display it as a solid model?

The issue is in the attached file main/2_rough_frame_1.slvs
I am using SolveSpace 3.1

Two replies missing from this thread. (by wolfv)
The "Forum threads" says "Linked solid model displays as a wireframe (Mon Mar 24 2025, 04:15:11, 3 replies)".
It says "3 replies"!
But when I view the thread, I see only 1 reply dated Mar 16 2025.

Does anyone see the last two replies?

Disregard my last post (by wolfv)
Never mind.

The "Forum threads" now says, "2 replies".

Your problem is that the original object had a group with NURBS forced to triangle mesh (forcing the whole object to triangles) - when you link to it in a new object, Solvespace fails to set the same option on the assembled group, and the result is no visible solid. It's a known bug, there's even an issue about it somewhere. But all you need to do is check that option manually for the group of the linked/assembled part ("force NURBS surfaces to triangle mesh") and you get your solid back...
