  When entering the Dismantle / Deconstruction Mode, the object you aim at is highlighted with a red overlay as expected. However, if you close the dismantle menu using the X key, the red overlay remains on the object even though the mode is no longer active.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Enter Dismantle Mode.
  2. Look at any building piece until the red highlight/overlay appears.
  3. Press X to close the dismantle menu and exit the mode.
  4. The red overlay stays visible on the object instead of disappearing.

  When building new machines or adding windows and doors, the red or blue highlight stays on whatever wall you're looking at. It seems to disappear after opening a new menu

  Workaround, while in build or dismantle mode, point your cursor at a spot with nothing built. Like the sky, or landscape, and then esc the menu. Red/blue highlight disappeared.

  what I do here to make it disappear is
  1. Go back to dismantle mode then put the cursor in the highlighted red
  2. slide it anywhere in the environment where there are no placed building/structure by you
  basically I slide it to grass or the sky and it disappears

  I wanted to add that I have also tested this and it seems the only thing I can get the red highlight to shut off when I disengage dismantle, is to point it towards a window and then disengage or an area outside the build radius (like Sky, Ocean, Land, etc, etc). The red light that usually is left behind is now gone, but only when I point it towards a window (or an area outside the build radius like Sky, Ocean, Land, etc, etc) and then hit disengage.
