11.6 Multiple Assembly Configurations
In Section 11. 5 we created an exploded wheel assembly. In this section we will create a new
configuration with a green tire. The “green” configuration of the skateboard also has a black
wheel.
Step 91: Right-click the Tire and select Edit Part.
Verify that you have the Feature Manager design tree.
Notice that the Tire feature changes to blue to show that the tire is being edited.
If necessary, expand the Tire to show the design tree.
Right-click the Tire and select Appearances and Tire or Part.
Click Remove Appearance.
If the Color options do not show, click the arrows to open. See Figure 11. 6.
