adding parts in an assembly (by François-Marie Meunier)
on adding extruded parts in an assembly, the part look as a lines only, and not filed...
moreover, the extruded part won't rotate, whereas the drawn 2d part with 1 dof rotate as expected.
my drawing, a camshaft with cams on it seems impossible to visualise correctly...
with win11

I saw the same issue as you were seeing when I first tried to load your model into the software. However if you check the box "Force NURBS to triangle mesh" your part's solid model will appear.

thanks for the help, its fixed...
but an other point is annoying, How comes I can't rotate the cams on the shaft, shall I assemble the cams already properly oriented
is it possible to rotate the assembled camshaft or does it require too much computing?

Francois,
The reason you can't rotate the cams is because you constrained them with the "orient" command. This is not inherently incorrect but will prevent the object from rotating. See I've attached a version where they can rotate, but constraining points to the centerline (vs "orient").

Thanks very much, I didn't fully understood the double blue arrows constrain, i replaced it by a parallel constrain, on the axis of both shaft and cam, and now, I can adjust the angles between the cams with the angular constrain...I see the part I have to make, and print it in 3D
Solvespace is very helpful for me to visualise things before cutting metal, as using my gray cells only lead to mistakes !
