Imported a 3D circuit board (STEP) into a Solid Edge part. All the parts are translucent, but when placed into an assembly it shows all the bodies in their correct opaque color.
Solution
You would see the same behavior if you created a multi-body part from scratch...only the active body displays opaque in the part file.
You can disable "Dim surrounding components during in-place edit..." in Solid Edge Options -> View. With this option disabled none of the bodies will be translucent and will show in their correct color.
