overdefintition uasloy means you have a part fully constrainted and you are tyring to add another mate
or a mate you are adding will defy a preexisting mate
A word of encouragement. God things never come easy, and usually take a large investment.Jagboy wrote:Well, today was a big day. Two things happened. One: I became satisfied when I realized that over 90% of the components are present. Two: I realized how much work I have to do in order to make it work. The second one is kind of overwhelming, so I'm trying to push that emotion away for a while so that I can get a big enough boost from the first one.
That's what makes this scenario so frustrating. I can move the parts into the position I want but the mate will not work. Even more, it worked on the other side. Here's whats happening: I added ball joints to the rear A-arms and thus needed the extra rod to constrain the toe angle. On the left side all went well. On the right side I can get everything mated except the mate that connects the toe turnbuckle to the chassis plate. If you look closely at picture #3 you can see that on left side there is a bit of an offset between the rod end and the nearest surface on the turnbuckle. The right side does not have that offset because the turnbuckle only has a concentric mate with that rod end, no coincident mate. Please help if you can.overdefintition uasloy means you have a part fully constrainted and you are tyring to add another mate
