Any way to combine components?

Somehow I managed to draw a part that should be one component but ended up 3 components, is there a way to combine them into 1?

 

Thanks,

Mark

yes, and it's not hard.  But with out your model, it's not really possible to tell you how (to many possible variations).  It would b best to go back into your time line and fix it there, rather than going forward from where you are and doing a cut and paste type thing.  Post your model and I bet somebody will show you how.

 

To attach your model go to the file menu and do this-

and then attach to your next post

In modeling, you ca do a Modify - Combine. Select the bodies and set it to Join. That should give you 1 model when you're done.

yep, works.  but the time line remains muddled, possibly leading to problems down the road.  better to fix at the source so the model doesn't eventually be come hopelessly broken.
