Issues with connections in Mechanical

      I am having issues with connections. I get the question mark next to some of my connections from both the auto connector and manually connecting them. There seems to be no particular reason why this is happening. Here are some pictures to show my issue.

      Looks like you have a part with multiple bodies (Multi-body part). 
      Expand your Geometry branch and post a screen shot.

        I suppressed the surface bodies since I only need the solid bodies. Would that be a reason for issues?

          Yes the Mixed Bodies will cause issue. If suppressing doesnt work, then you may have to suppress/hide the Surfaces bodies in CAD and not import them.

          Okay so theoretically, if there are only 3D solids, there should be no issues?
