Hi everyone, thanks for your response :D Datum planes are vulnerable like sketches so attach them the same as sketches. Yes, thanks for the tip.

I'm trying to improve my model to prevent TNP. Could you check it and give me advice?

Hi everyone. I've been reading and watching several videos regarding topological naming problem (TNP).
