Hello All,
Just wondering how people go about creating simplified models of sub assemblies.
The specific thing I am working on is an assembly with several different bearings. While I want to keep the bearings in the assembly and it is nice they look like bearings when sectioned etc I would like to to simplify them. By simplify I mean ideally turn them into a single part. The bearings currently are as downloaded from the bearing supplier and each one has a dozen different parts. For this project I want to keep everything in a single folder and having lots of bearing parts is making it more difficult to see the other parts. Also I have to email assemblies and it would be better if the bearing was then just one part, instead of several.
I could remodel the, but this seems time consuming and unnecessary.
I also could Shrinkwrap them, but this creates external surfaces only.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank you.
