I'm somewhat new to top-down; pardon my question if indeed it's a simple solution "I should already know..."
I've created three round parts - all concentric to one vertical centerline. I want these parts to rotate about this centerline axis - however, due to my building the model the way I have, the parts are fixed into their respective positions. In other words, I cannot get the parts to rotate freely about this common centerline axis nor will they "pull apart" up and down (along) this centerline.
Is there a means by which I can break the in-place mates - and re-establish new mate relations so as to allow these parts to rotate independantly of one another?
Thanks in advance for any advice/corrective action anyone can render!
We do quite a few axi-symetric assemblies and the process that works well for us in a top-down assy is to;
One other thing that we have learned is to use hide solid bodies while working in the assembly with sketches to make selections and visualization of the axi-symetric revolve sketch easier to work with.
Hope this helps.
