Is it possible to split an assembled body into it's original components? Thank you.

@kaltenekkerb

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Or if it was imported geometry then Attach the original.

If you want to return an assembly back to it’s original components simply select the assembly joints in the timeline and remove them.

@kaltenekkerb

See Attached file...

BTW - in you assembly I would expect to see one Grounded Component and at least one Revolute Joint rather than two Rigid Joints.

I see other issues as well.

What exactly are you attempting to model?

Would you like step-by-step instruction on how to do all of this correctly in Fusion 360?

The learning process can be eased by following the instructions of the experts here - but you have to agree on active two-way communication. I asked you a question that you did not answer. In a previous discussion thread I asked you 3 questions that you did not answer.

Let’s try one more time.

Q1. What is your Design Intent - that is, what are you attempting to design? Do you have any pictures of something similar from the real world?

Q2. Are you willing to follow step-by-step instructions?
