cannot move component in assembly

bengee5454 — Tue, 21 May 2019 16:49:05 GMT

I downloaded a model of a camper van with the aim of designing furniture for it.

However, when I bring in the furniture, I cant move it!

Furthermore, when I expand the components in the browser I'm faced with red and yellow warnings. Please tell me why this is?

Trying to upload my (first) screencast!

Looking at the screencast, I can see you have one of the components grounded.
If the grounded component and the component you are trying to move are in the same rigid group, Fusion won't allow you to move it.
Try removing the Ground (if it is part of the rigid group) and check again.

Hi,

It looks like there are conflicts between joints that result in joint solving failures. These failures cause the model to freeze so you can't move it.

I can't say why there are conflicts looking at the image but the typical way to resolve this kind of problem is to suppress badged joint occurrences in the browser one at a time. Eventually, the conflict will go away but you might have unwanted motion due to the joint suppression. You can figure out which joints need to be edited or recreated to get the constraints you want without the conflict.

The tooltip "Distance conflict due to joint type" means that the rigid joint type does not allow translational (distance vs angular) motion and that is conflicting with another joint or possibly ground state if both sides of the joint are grounded. You could try ungrounding the base in addition to or instead of suppressing joints.
