Object displaying black after freezing, also faces shared by multiple groups after..
My lamp shade was showing huge normals - even once I tried to adjust the size. So I froze it's transformations, now it shows black in the viewport. It renders fine though.
I've tried unnasigning and assigning materials, no difference.
Also, I tried to export then import it. Upon import, I get a warning advising me the it contains faces containing faces shared by multiple groups. I get that often, though I am carefull with modeling, and have cleaned it up.
Anyone able to help with these issues - especially the black display.
cheers

If you mirror geo and do not combine and merge verts (in other words leave it as it's own object then this will always happen if you freeze the transforms, it is not an issue if you combine and merge with the other half to make a whole object.

it wasn't mirrored or duplicated, but unlocking and then softening the normals done the trick.
thanks again,
