modifying components after they are constrained.

Hello,

Is there an easy way to make changes to body's and components after they have been added to a joint without removing them from the joint?

Thank you

That depends on what chenges you want to make 😉

We can;t see what you see when you look at your screen, so perhaps at least a s screenshot of your design or even a screencast and a much more detaiolled description of what you want to do would be on order.

Sorry about that. i made the top channel 2" longer on each end and now I have to delete all of the rigid joints the top channel are a part of. The design is a 3 axis plasma table.

Hi @Anonymous,

It somewhat depends on how you have created your design. It should certainly be possible to do this. In this screencast I show that you can apply joints, then modify one of the components, and the joints will update correctly. However, if, instead of editing the base block, I had just cut off one end of the top bar, then, yes, the joints would have failed.

Hope this answers your question,

Jeff
