Trying to move only one object, but moves the parent

[solber]

Hi! I'm trying to move a selection of bodies, but, it seems to also moves some of the parents (i copy/pasted servo bodies multiple times) and also it seems to forgot to move some, how can I solve that ?

Thanks for your help!

I do not see a Joints folder?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

There you go

The reason you are having difficulty is because your group contains both Components and Bodies.  You must remember that Components contain Bodies but the opposite is not true.  You can use this to your advantage as I tried to explain in the Screencast.

Thank you very much ! It's much clearer now ! Can I also ask you another question ?

[jhackney1972]

Sure, that is what the forums are for.

As you can see in the project file I gave you, there's an "OLD" folder, this one contains other bodies that I can't delete, because if I do it will also delete childrens of this object, how can I delete those without deleting childrens ?

I found one folder called "Old" and went through each body to find where it was used in the assembly.  I did not find any other places but just in case it has some geometry being used but not the entire body, I selected the Body in the Browser and used the Remove command.  This command will remove the body but it any dependencies exist, it will leave those intact.  

I am not familiar with your assembly so check behind me and make sure as you follow the process I have outlined, it does not affect any other bodies or components.  Let me know specifically if there still is a problem, give details so I can look at it directly.

Thanks again for your video ! So delete and remove is different, got it !
And yes when I was talking about this folder I was talking about clicking delete on those items, which would delete my others components outside this folder because as you said, they're based on those ones. Thanks again !
