Edit Mirror feature with multiple bodies issue

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

 

I am having trouble with re-selecting a body when editing a mirror feature in the timeline. This was my process:

 

  • I have made 3 components and modeled bodies within each component.
  • Then to save time I mirrored 2 bodies of 2 separate components (as one timeline feature) under the main model. (Is this a bad way of going about it?)
  • Further down the line I needed to make changes under a specific component, I activate that component, scroll back the History Marker to before the mirror feature, make changes, and scroll forward after the mirror feature.
  • The mirror does not compute, only 1 of the  2 bodies were mirrored (the warning says missing bodies), I then edit the feature under the main active model by trying to re-select the missing body, but it does not allow me to add the missing body to the selection.

(I try follow the process of keeping all features and sketches within a specific component as much as possible, but say the model was 20 components strong and I need to mirror 12 bodies scattered in different components across the same plane, do I have to go and mirror each body separately under the relevant components? Just to avoid the problem mentioned above? This would be quite time consuming.)

 

Would really some help on what I'm missing here.

Thanks!

Two thing:

 

  1. Create screencast.
  2. Share model ( export as .f3d and attach to next post)

Please!

have you tried holding the Ctrl key down while make the selection?
