Derived sketches won't rebuild

I have a part in an assembly with some derived sketches that are in context from sketches from another part in the assembly. They worked fine until I changed the original ones, but now they do not update with the changes and refuse to rebuild.
No amount of Ctrl+Q and Ctrl+B is doing anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

No one else has this question

You might have to go into each of those derived sketches in order to get them to rebuild. Try editing one without making any actual changes and see what happens.

Editing one of the derived sketches without making changes and then exiting causes part to rebuild, which takes a ridiculously long time in comparison to the part complexity, but the derived sketches keep their little traffic lights.

It turns out my problem is different altogether. The derived sketches are updating, but the blocks in them are not. When I make a change to blocks in the original sketch, these changes don't occur in the derived sketch, whether or not it refuses to rebuild.

  You need the solidworks rebuild utility - ask your VAR, it does a full rebuild ( very poor that this isn't built into the product! )

Contacted my VAR about this and they have opened an SR with SolidWorks.
