Re: SSP in the assembly or inserted into each part of the assembly?

Can you upload your asm or some dimensions? What are the variables? Is it always going to have 7 drawers? I would be happy to upload my files, but just uploading the images in my previous post nearly caused me to tear my hair out. I tried to attach an .EASM file, but apparently that's not allowed. ...

Re: SSP in the assembly or inserted into each part of the assembly?

At the risk of bombing this thread with way too much detail, here are the results of my experiment: My Seven Drawer Chest has one Case Assembly which contains the Case parts (side, back, top & bottom) and 7 instances of a Drawer Assembly. The drawers are of 3 different sizes which are controlled...

Re: SSP in the assembly or inserted into each part of the assembly?

Once you fully grok SSP let me know, because I still haven't...It's a constant learning process. Some things work great and some things break easily. I wish there was a manual, but I guess we all have to write our own. I don't know whether to be amused, relieved, or alarmed by this! :lol: ;) :shock:

Re: SSP in the assembly or inserted into each part of the assembly?

dpihlaja That's the way I've been doing it for a few months, but I was having weird issues as I switched between different configurations. Features would break. Dimensions defined by Design Tables would revert to being hard defined within a sketch. It didn't happen all the time, but often enough to...

Re: SSP in the assembly or inserted into each part of the assembly?

The SSP file does not have to be in the assembly if it's in the component part files. I find it it best to not create in-context relations, meaning relations made within the assembly, which can easily lead to trouble. Leaving the SSP out of the assembly helps you to avoid those problems. To be clea...

SSP in the assembly or inserted into each part of the assembly?

I've read through the Barrataria and the Skeleton Sketch Part (SSP) Presentation PDFs, and I've been experimenting with using SSPs in my furniture models for the last few months. Somewhere (Youtube video?) I learned to insert a SSP into a each part in an assembly which seems to work pretty well, but...
