Hello,

What do I have to do to get this part to stand up right?

Kind regards
ProApe

    Is that a part studio or an assembly? If it's a part studio, you need to model it right side up, although you could always add a transform feature to re-orient things. If it's actually an assembly, it really depends on how you have things constrained. By default, everything is floating around in Onshape assemblies, which is a bit confusing. At least on part should be fixed or mated to the origin, and then everything else can be placed using functional mates (fasten, cylindrical, revolute, etc) or grouped (especially if the parts were dropped in from a part studio together).

    It is an assembly.
    Can I correct this afterwards?

    You can change the assembly to your heart's content. In fact, if you don't add a fixed constraint to a key part or fasten one to the origin, stuff will always be able to float around.
