Enable material editing for elements involved in Master-Slave connections

Enable material editing for elements involved in Master-Slave connections

The current design does not allow to edit the properties of those elements involved in Master-Slave connections. For example, when selecting an element belonging to a slave connection and trying to edit the material, this will not be possible. 

 

Oppositely, this is enabled for macro connections, which can lead to confusions and time-consuming situations if changes are needed.

 

Example of such situation: Let's say that in a model there are tens of slave joints and also the model contains lots of macro connections and the material needs to be changed for all the plates in the model. Normally, if the model would have contained only macro connections, this would be a very simple change to make. However, this is not possible for slave models. The only workaround is to select connection by connection and break the relation with the master model. 

 

Maybe there is a way to change this behavior.

 

Thank you!

maybe I didn't understand it right, but if you change the material of the master connection, all elements in slave connections are change too. 
the problem is, that if the would be change, and then sone change 1 plate which is normaly integrated in 10 slave joint, these joints are not anymore the same or not?
But I agree, the material of macro connection (and their modelrole!) should be changeable in the modelbrowser.

I have run into this issue before.  

 

I had identical angle clips being given different part numbers (who hasn't struggled with this before in AST?!!)

and when I ran the part comparison it showed that the material was different but these clips where in a master slave relationship.

 

In order to get the identical parts to number the same I had to explode the macro because I was unable to change the material.

 

Basically I had to destroy my Master/slave chain to get the clips to number correctly.... 

 

kinda defeats the purpose of having para metrically driven master/slave chains doesn't it!

Also with Lot phase it is a problem.

The connection can be master slave, but sometimes a slavejoint has a different Lotphase then another slave joint.

It would also be great if the lotPhase can be changed into the modelbrowser without the problem masterslave.
