I like that terminology. It's much like the 'sketch assembly' technique that just uses the sketches to drive the assembly. I like the idea of also using surfaces to drive complex geometry between parts in an assembly! Thanks! Hey Phil, thanks. I like that terminology.

The master model is a part composed entirely of sketches and surfaces, no solid bodies. Every part of the assembly then has the master model inserted as the first feature. All interactive geometry is controlled by the master model. This is a good way to completely avoid external references in assemblies. However, when the model gets complex, rebuild times get pretty high.<br><br>Often, I use the master model technique in conjunction with the multi-body technique. I use a “master model” technique.

It's always good to have directory of reusable sketches and such. and don't forget to let your coworkers know about it! Really good point Rod.
