How do I get started making parts?

[ChrisNelson]

You should probably fuse the parts into a single solid first.

Somehow I bumbled around until I found how to fuse then I was able to clone. Thanks, all!

So, if I now want to revised the fused part, how do I un-fuze it? I had to use "union" to "fuse" so I'm really not sure what name to be looking for. Thanks.

Just go to the part in the tree and change it, everything should adjust after.

Post your file, its awfully hard to see what you've done to offer any advice.

Sorry. I'm so used to working with huge files that posting documents to a forum like this feels wrong.

I want to add another piece to Tool Base. But that now seems to have no components so, I guess I want to modify "Fusion" in the tree.

I don't understand what it is you want.

If I modify E.G. the depth of the panel, "core" from 19.05 to 12 it updates in fusion and both clones!

No. I want to add a "cleat" down the middle of the core, a six cube as part of the subassembly.

Form the cleat then fuse it with Fusion(better use some names here.)

Note you will have to delete and remake the clones, unless the cleat connects to them as a single object, then fuse them with it.

Make sense?

If you don't only want to change a property of one of the components, but add, remove or exchange a complete object, you can use the "Shapes" property. Click at the button to the right and select the objects.

Yes. Thanks. I'll give it a try.

use the "Shapes" property.

Chris is this documented anywhere, I'm struggling to find it.
