  3. I have a large number of multi-body parts in my simulation. I need to select all of the solids to modify their details behavior. If I use the shift key I get both parts and solids. I can use a combination of shift and control keys but the procedure is tedious when there’s a large number of parts. What’s the alternative?

      A simple way to get all the solids in the tree highlighted so their detail windows can be modified as one is the following: 1. Go to “Edit > Select All”. 3. In the graphics window right click and choose “Go To > Corresponding Bodies in Tree”. All sub parts within the multibody parts will be highlighted.
