Try Deriving Assembly: Drops Components, Get Error

[eng86]

Hi,

I just started using inventor and am trying to derive an assembly. When I try to derive it, only the base component is now visible and i get a "Modeling failure while trimming and discarding faces," and a "Modeling failure while intersecting faces/edges (may be self intersecting?)." error. I can still derive each component individually, but not the entire assembly. (I am just trying to scale the entire assembly.) Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

I am assuming you checked the Inv Help files before posting this question.

Did you select all the components you need in the pop-up when you start making the derived part? If so, the only other problem I can think of is there is a some sort of interference in your assembly. Try Tools--Analyze Interference.
