  2. Right-click mill at the top of the FeatureManager design tree and select Collapse Items.

Status

knee<1>

fixed

scale<1>
pillar<1>

pillar<2>

under defined

none

all other components

fully defined

The under defined components still have a rotational degree of freedom. Their rotational positions are not relevant to the design intent of this assembly, so it is not necessary to fully constrain them.
