Combining Bodies - Common

In a multibody part, you can create a body defined by the intersection of multiple bodies.

You can only combine bodies contained within one multibody part file. You cannot combine two separate parts. However, you can create a multibody part by using Insert Part to place one part into the other part file. Then you can use Combine on the multibody part.

To create a body from the overlap of multiple bodies:

1. Click Combine (Features toolbar) or Insert > Features > Combine.
2. In the PropertyManager, under Operation Type, select Common.
3. For Bodies to Combine, select the bodies to combine.
   You can select bodies in the graphics area or the Solid Bodies folder in the FeatureManager design tree.
4. Click Show Preview to preview the feature.
5. Click .
