How do I reposition separate parts in a model after I have merged to add them?
I merged a new part into my current model but now they are not positioned correctly.
You cannot re-position CAD geometry in Algor.
The thing to do is after meshing all parts, select the part(s) you want to move and Select Sub-entities: Lines and move all the lines to the new position.
Basically, you are moving the lines on the part(s) after meshing.
Drawbacks:
1- If the mesh on the re-positioned part is to match with other parts that probably won’t happen. This may or may not be a problem.
2- If you re-mesh the model the part(s) will go back to the original position. This is not too bad since you can repeat the re-positioning.
Solution:
Position the parts in their final location before importing into Algor.
