Merge two parts??????

[Poorpaulus]

In an assembly, I have two parts. I want to combine them both so that it is no longer an assembly, but one part.

HELP!!!!!!!

Open the assembly -> Save As, and select "Part" in the selection-box. The only problem is you will lose all your feature-data en the part will consist of 2 imported body's

Splendid. Thanks Bouke

Can each of the bodies have differenct densities?

Another way of creating a single part from two parts is via the multi-bodies feature.
Open one of the parts, then add/insert the other part to it. This will create a multi-body part. Then use the Combine function to join the parts as one. This way you will not lose the individual feature data.

Multibodies in a part cannot have different densities.

If you create a multibody part by inserting a part into another part, the original parts density will be adopted by the inserted part.

If you create a part from an assembly, the densities will be removed from the original parts & a single density only can be applied to the newly created part.

I think that the single density thing is a logical issue. A PART is a single part even if it is multibodied. I know some of us use them in lieu of assemblies for our convenience at times, but that's our tough luck.
