Error Message

Cannot Create a Copy from Visible Models

Description

This message appears when using Create Component from Visible Model and no valid 3D data is available to copy. The tool creates a single, merged component from all currently visible 3D components in the project.

Common Causes

  • No 3D components are visible in the Component Tree
  • No 3D models have been created or imported
  • Feature not available in the current software version or product

Recommended Fixes

  • Turn on visibility for at least one 3D component in the Component Tree
  • Import or create a 3D model (STL, OBJ, 3DS, etc.) before using the tool
  • Verify your software version supports this feature (Aspire or newer releases)

Once valid 3D components are visible, the tool will create a single combined component for easier editing or sculpting.
