2. Key takeaways

1

Interference detection lists the shared volumes between components: it shows where the assembly is wrong.

2

Correct the faulty mate rather than moving the part: the position must be defined by the mates.

3

Replace Components can handle all instances of a part at once.

4

After a replacement, check the mates to reattach: some references may be missing on the new part.

Tip

Run interference detection again after each correction: a repaired mate can shift another one.

3. Do the exercise

Take the hinge from lesson 4:

  • create an interference by changing a distance mate
  • find it with interference detection and correct the mate
  • replace the pin with a longer variant and reattach the mates
✓To check: Interference detection returns no results and the tree shows no mate in error.
