    Duplicate Surfaces

    Is there a quick way of run a test to make sure I don't have duplicate surfaces on my model. I have to import a lot of models from other cad systems and normal have to repair them and this has been a problem in the past when I come to sew the surfaces together to create a solid. Thank you...

    Updated Sketch

    I have updated a sketch but there seems to be a hole in the chain? Is there a analysis tool I can run quickly to find the gap instead of going through the sketch bit by bit?

    Select assembly

    When working in a assembly you can select a assembly (even through there is only one assembly) and you can make parts in your assembly lightweight. How do these work???
