Muliti-body Part

walt_j1

The Essentials Video for multi-body part shows the assembly moving.  The tab at the bottom of the On Shape session shows an assembly.  Can On Shape build a multbody part, then use the parts independently in the assembly connected by mates?  This is the only way I can see the video to actually work.

Thanks.

Any parts from one or many part studios can be used in an assembly, no matter if they were modeled as a multibody-part or separately. But they need to actually be separate parts, of course (to move independently, that is). And by separate I mean separate parts in the parts list in the lower left section of the part studio (they may still look like they are one single part, depending on how they were modeled). It isn't uncommon to model something starting out as a solid body, and then splitting it by surfaces or planes.

Does that answer your question?

@walt_jones Onshape has excellent approach of multi body part modeling and its very simple. In part studio we have liberty to convert the feature created on part as a new part body or to merge it within the same part. Different parts will shown in part studio right below the feature tree with some default names which you can rename later. They can be inserted separately in the assembly with required mating condition.
