How to update an assembly

Vagulus — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 08:42:04 GMT

I have an assembly which is a compound of sub-assemblies. I notice a discrepancy between (for example) levels of two base plates. I change the relevant PART to adjust and fix the discrepancy. In my understanding, updating the top-level assembly should update everything through the levels. Is that correct?

Also, how do I update the top-level assembly without closing and re-opening it?

Hello @Vagulus,

Go to Manage -> Update -> Rebuild all.

Hope it helps!

Also, there is the Update button on the tool bar which lights up when there are updates available. This does not do a full rebuild, but is much quicker and should do what you are asking.
