Isolating conflicting relationships

[jakob_nielsen]

Model browser → Relationships

When working on large assemblies, I often have an extensive list of relationships. When there are one or more conflicts among the relationships, it takes time to locate them. It would be nice to have a sub-list under Relationships that, when unfolded, contained only the conflicting relationships. And as a bonus, it would be even nicer if the conflicting geometries were highlighted even more in the assembly, whenever a conflicting relationship is selected. It would make it much easier to locate and navigate to the problem.

This would be a great tool. Maybe the parts in one color shade and the geometries in another. It could be difficult to see an edge or face on the underside of a part if only the geometry was highlighted.

Another great option would be the option to temporarily isolate (view-wise) the components related to the constraint having issues, so you have a clear view around them to fix it, then un-isolate again after you've fixed the issue (or completed editing the constraint).

I support this 100%. I hate having conflicting relationship and it only shows the most recent one as having the exclamation point so you've got no idea at all where the conflicting constraint is. Even a right-click menu and "find conflicts" selection is all it would need.

Yes sounds good.

However, I would also include all the other constraints to the parts/assemblies in question.

Often newer constraints foul other constraints - hard to tell if the one that is failed is the culprit or another one further down the chain which looks OK is making things go haywire.

I recently fixed another users Stairway - all good till the very last couple of items where constrained.

Was chasing my tail around trying to find the error which was causing problems.

The stairway had 2 sets of hand rail assemblies -The constraints started from one end of the assembly and continued in order down the stairs.

Almost to the last member inserted to the assembly, one of the constraints was placed slightly different to the opposite side- caused this cyclic error.

Ended up deleting the OK constraint and continuing along the same manner as the other handrail-just a few constraints later (3) all fixed.  Those error constraints fixed themselves, after deleting the OK one.
