How to fix this quickly?

I have an enclosure solid model assembly given to me from a vendor.

I placed the enclosure in my assembly and all works just fine for my purposes except...

Every time I open or save the main assembly I get this annoying "what's Wrong" error message "Control enclosure has rebuild errors"

I tried healing and fixing the gaps and faces.

Bottom line, I don't need or want a "fixed" model.

I don't need to alter or change this model.

It is being used to show proper placement and relative size in my main assembly only.

What I want is to open my main assembly without the What's Wrong error message and I don't want to just turn off the message box.

I wool also like to have my "tree" be clean without the enclosure subassembly being mustard color.

Under these conditions, what is the best (quickest) practice to achieve what I want?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Correct Answer

Not a dumb solid, but a multi body part with no errors or warnings.

The first thing I'd try is RMB clicking on SCE-1614CHNF in your feature tree and selecting "Set Resolved to Lightweight."

That's what I usually do.

If you want it to open without the error message, you can select Lightweight in the Open dialog.

You could try exporting the assembly as a step file, and then re-importing it. It sounds like you could re-import the enclosure as a single part, for what you are trying to do.

  If you do not need it for anything but a reference then I agree that exporting it as a dumb solid and using that instead is a good way to go. HOWEVER, I would export it as a SWX Part file. If you select All Components then the resulting file will be a dumb solid with all the parts as separate bodies. Easy. Clean. Simple.

    Thanks Dennis,
    
    I have never saved an assembly as a part before and I tried this first.
    
    Didn't work. I got this...

  I tried this six different ways.
  Export as STEP Import as STEP
  Export as STEP Import as parasolid
  Export as parasolid Import as STEP
  Export as parasolid Import as parasolid
  Import into KeyCreator as STEP export as STEP (and x_t)
  Import into KeyCreator as parasolid export as STEP (and x_t)
  
  Nothing turned this into a single dumb solid. I'm perplexed.

      Scott, I would love to know what you did there.
      
      My assembly is in SW2018.
      I opened your file in SW2020 and saved as x_T. Then opened in SW2018 and saved as .sldprt and no errors.
      I will need to put in into the sub assembly with the buttons and stuff.
      
      Thanks Scott.

        Save assembly as step file.
        
        Open step file (which will rebuild the assembly)
        
        Save assembly as part file.

        It's a beautiful thing.
        I "Replaced Components" with you file and all is well with the main assembly.
        No more error messages and I still have 'Verification on Rebuild' in the System options turned on.
        
        Thank you Scott.

Turn off 'Verification on Rebuild' in the System options. Open each part with a rebuild error and CTRL-Q rebuild it. The warnings will go away. There is one part for which this won't work: 100897. For that one, use Import Diagnostics and 'Heal All' will correct it. End result, clean tree:

Of course, this is just hiding the problems, but it gives you what you want.

  Thank you Jim. I started this process and it was working perfectly until I got to the V part. When I saved the part, after repairing the faces, SW crashed.
  
  I do believe this will work so good work around except I don't like turning off globally the 'Verification on Rebuild' in the System options.
  
  After the crash I saw Scott Perman's reply and multibody part above. I'm working with that one now.
  
  Thanks again Jim
