Joint Failing on Copied Part

Anonymous
Not applicable

I may be doing joints wrong as I am new to F360, but I can't figure out what is going on here.

 

I have created an assembled part (made from another part in it's own file and a body) in it's own file and am trying to assemble a bunch of the same part in a separate assembly.

 

I ground the first part then join the second to the first:

The joint applies correctly but then has the following warning:

What am I doing wrong?

As you've blacked out the names of the parts I am not assuming that you can share the model. If you open that linked component, could you share a screenshot of it's timeline ?

 

The joint error complains about cached geometry and in the context of that very small assembly that does not make any sense to me!

Does this help?

It looks like the selected face is moving due to the part being copied....that's how I'm seeing it.  I just want to use this part (while maintaining it's link to the original) and copy it a bunch of time and then join them together...not sure what I'm doing wrong but this seems much harder than it should be.

Not sure if this is the problem but it has been problematic in other assembly situations.

In any assembly you should never have components and bodies at the same level. Any bodies should be components and then the whole assembly should be rigid grouped.

I re-created the camera-triangle assembly and it now works fine...I noticed there was an extra body in the part and i couldn't delete it.  That's why I re-made the part.
