I'm new to SW and for my first project I'm designing a deck.
When you want to extend a part (in this case, a board) to another board, do you have to create a new part for the length you need, or is there a way to do it in the assy?
In my picture, I want to extend the studs up to the rafter, notching them out, and making the tops of each stud flush with the rafter.
Thanks.
Steve, you should be able to do what we call 'in-context' modelling, to update those parts.
If you select the part you wish to change, then on the Assembly tab of the Command manager, you will see the option to edit component.
This will then allow you to update the part/extrusion so that its end condition meets the requirements you want.
Once you have chosen to edit the part, it will turn blue by default in the Feature Tree. Within here you will be able to update the features as you wish.
If you then edit the feature in question you will be able to edit the end conditions so that they go up to the body you want.
Hope this helps
Albie
