I have a sheet metal part, tubing and sheet metal that looks like one of the sheet metal components has been shelled out. In the assembly for the weldment it isn't shelled out. There are no shell commands in the part at all.
I am making modification to the sheet metal part and the hollowed out piece is giving me real problems.
Attached is a screen shot of the part and the part in an assembly.
I have no idea why this is happening.
Totally possible. Earlier I selected the piece in the feature tree and made it transparent, then undid that. How do I back out of that?

Is the easiest way.
Can you select the invisible face? Shift + Lmb while hovering the cursor at the face. I take take it that you had made the entire part transparent then undid. This looks like it is just the top surface. Do you have any bends in the part? Maybe some interference or fused bends. This will sometimes cause something similar.
I can Shift + LMB to select what looks like the face, but the cursor menu does not have a transparency button. I don't know how to make the face not transparent.
Wait, I got it, RMB had the change transparency option.
Thanks everyone.
Does it go away as you rotate the assy? If so, it's a graphics issues I'd suspect. If not, It's what Dennis Bacon said

This is a shot in the dark Kevin... Is it possible that maybe you made that face transparent? Accidentally?
If you use the shift key can you select that surface? Would be nice to have your file if possible.
