"Relationship Was Placed with Respect to Geometry That is No Longer Available"
This is the error I get with two parts when trying to constrain in an assembly. It's as if Inventor doesn't believe the face exists (as seen in yellow on the top picture) after selecting it.
Part1 has been extruded as a solid between two planes. There are no errors within the part. You can constrain everything to any part of Part1 aside from that one face. It's doesn't matter if it's mate, flush, angle, tangent, etc. The same error will come up. I can't project a plane from the face. Nearby faces can be constrained easily. I can place a flush mate between Part1 and another part on a connected face. I can add a tangent constraint with the same part to a nearby face on Part 1. I can see the face, there's no gaping holes. I can select it. I just can't do anything with it.
Is this by any chance a frame generator assembly? In trying to follow what you have outlined,
was this a constraint that existed before and all of a sudden now doesn't work anymore? If this is the case, what was done just prior to give this condition?

Are any of these components grounded?
Can you post this assembly for us to take a look at?

Are any of the parts adaptive? i.e., by constraining something, will you move part A in such a way that the geometry in part B would no longer exist?

I've narrowed it down to this. The image on the right is how the face should be after a Cut Extrude operation.
For some unfortunate reason it looks like my sketch may be off by enough to separate it into multiple faces. That ain't right.
You eluded to the fact that the order in the browser may play into this issue.
In reading through what you have said and the responses, if you place a component and only partially constrain it. Then constrain other items to it, I can see the further you get down the component list, it could cycle back like this and cause issues.
Another question you stated that if this component is removed, the assembly is fine. How did you remove the component? Just flat out deleted it? Or did you suppress it.
If you deleted it, could you just reinsert it? Would this resolve the issue?
Now I notice that you have some feature issues. Were these festures created midstream while this part was already inserted into the assembly and these changes caused this mess?

Well, if it is the face on this part, then it has to be this part.
You have been asked many times to post your assembly and parts.
Are you not able to do this?

Can you create a new simplified part ignoring all other features with just the features that lead to these split faces?
Reproducing unexpected behavior in a new part often gives clues to a solution.
Two posts ago I asked a bunch of questions and made some assessments to which you have not responded to.
I would like see you address those. Also, since you cannot post your models, can you recreate this somehow in a mock up assembly and post that?
