Moket Help

When a joint loses its face ​

A joint is attached to faces or edges of its parts. When a part changes so that such a face is gone, for example its feature is deleted and made again, the joint cannot know where it should attach. Moket does not guess: the joint is flagged and nothing moves.

Access: the status bar shows the problem; click it to select the joint.

What you see ​

  • The joint has a warning icon in the tree, and the status bar shows 1 problem: ... lost its reference.
  • The joint's properties say Lost its reference and which component it was on.
  • The component the joint placed stays exactly where it was. After you reload the assembly, it is where it was last stored.

Fix it ​

  1. Click the problem in the status bar, or select the joint in the tree.
  2. Click Reattach. The joint panel opens with the lost side waiting for a pick.
  3. Click the face or edge it should use now, or Origin.
  4. Click OK.

Or click Delete to remove the joint; the component then stays free where it is.
