Taylor, I am beginning to think to abandon Arrangements altogether and take the approach you suggest as I have run into other difficulties. It seems that measurements are incompatible with Arrangements as they don't seem to update across Arrangements (ref...

Taylor, I would like to model an assembly that has multiple configurations during operation, each one represented by a separate Arrangement. Further, I have parameterized components that change shape depending on the configuration (Arrangement). These are deformable in the sense that the shape...
