form tool duplicate bodies, un selectable

colemakinstoof — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 19:20:47 GMT

within the form tool ive cloned some bodies that were referenced outside of the form context. and then used them to make slightly different objects but those bodies dont appear within the bodies menu they are part of a component that was exported from another project, now within this new project im utilizing these bodies to retain visual cohesion.

the bodies list should be much longer and i should be able to select or atleast see the quadball in the bodies list even though i made it unselectable,

shown in the form context a shortened list of bodies with no clear reason or rationale to their naming nomenclature. and for some reason i can select objects from both form features in this scenario as though its been switched to the direct modeling environment.

Can you add more explanation of the workflow you are performing, and the expected results vs the experienced results? From the images, it looks like you are executing a "move to group" command, but it is not clear what bodies you are moving, or to what group, and which bodies become unselectable in this process. Please record a video of what you are seeing, preferably with a voiceover describing what you expect to happen that is not happening. Thanks.

the issue is you are seeing the issue. the bodies I'm trying to move don't appear in the drop down bodies folder so I cant tell what I'm trying to move into the group. When I box selected a group of objects, most of them would highlight until I initiated some sort of feature such as move or combine, or even move bodies to groups , for example i included the f3d and my eventual work around was to engage the form tool individually select each body I couldn't locate within the browser and when i clicked copy bodies, they would suddenly appear in the browser. but some would still fail. i included the above f3d before i had done this manual work around.

I think I see the problem. It is related to this feature in the timeline:

This is a New Component feature, and it looks like it was (once?) part of a feature group (that "-" sign below the icon). However, it seems like the feature group is corrupt somehow, because there does not seem to be any other features in the group, but yet I cannot explode the group, or collapse it, or any other operation on it. And, yes, it looks like there was once bodies in this group, at least the quadball body, that seem to be missing, yet show up in the graphics area. I will turn this over to the dev team to look at, thanks for sharing the model.

You say "they are part of a component that was exported from another project,". Do you still have that project? Do you remember what steps you took to import it into this project, and what steps you did afterward? Is there an older version of this design where that particular component and group are intact? I'd just like to see what it looked like originally, and maybe figure out what happened to corrupt that group.
