The problem is, the way FG works is it uses a part sketch to create the frame members, miters and trims.&nbsp; If you try and remove any part of it through iassemblies, the whole FG assembly will fail.&nbsp; The closest you can come to what you are describing is to have the complete FG assembly turned on or off in an upper level assembly.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P><IMG src="https://0lojpg.bn1301.livefilestore.com/y4mBpjMsxHsiyE90fl7LZ99L9EQYMinMmTq-HRFH9JbCEzkKriwtHkW3fcvHd1Tn83fNmCEOxlu43NSCaM5t5LTUVxzkr2SykXazzjlH6fe8HEZ9J9xESPFwabQTX5LJ7gKPlhZsl0LCsXsW74obCNtIOOvc57pHxbFMWOTgbDVMzABJgwHnVMfJOWjsmiR3b-SgAE5duRw6SWoxUsKOxXgCw?width=220&amp;height=20&amp;cropmode=none" border="0" width="300" height="100" /> <BR />Windows 10 x64 -16GB Ram <BR />Intel i7-6700 @ 3.41ghz <BR />nVidia GTS 250 - 1 GB <BR />Inventor Pro 2018 </P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 19 Sep 2018 12:09:11 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/how-to-use-ipart-and-iassembly-for-frame-generator-to-configured/m-p/8278062#M213214 Cadmanto 2018-09-19T12:09:11Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/how-to-use-ipart-and-iassembly-for-frame-generator-to-configured/m-p/8278193#M213215 <P>so what the best option can configure for each frame configuration&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Wed, 19 Sep 2018 12:50:28 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/how-to-use-ipart-and-iassembly-for-frame-generator-to-configured/m-p/8278193#M213215 lohithna 2018-09-19T12:50:28Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/how-to-use-ipart-and-iassembly-for-frame-generator-to-configured/m-p/8278242#M213216 <P>here is attached solid works part ...inventor difficult create&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Wed, 19 Sep 2018 13:04:18 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/how-to-use-ipart-and-iassembly-for-frame-generator-to-configured/m-p/8278242#M213216 lohithna 2018-09-19T13:04:18Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/how-to-use-ipart-and-iassembly-for-frame-generator-to-configured/m-p/8278292#M213217 <P>Three separate FG models.&nbsp;
