Q. After importing an assembly from CAD, why can I see part names in the Scene Tree but cannot see the models in the 3D Viewer?A. When models are imported into a Cortona3D Project, they are initially hidden in the 3D viewer. To display the models, select the parts from the Scene Tree and click
View > Hide/Show Selection > Show Solid. Back To Top
Q. Why is my action not played after it was added?
A. When an action has been added, the simulation must be refreshed by choosing the

Q. How can I have more than one action executing at the same time?A.
Create a new group by selecting Procedure > New Group. Enter a description of the group and set the new group to be a child of the SUBTASK.
The new group will appear in the procedure editor with Action Union appearing in front of the description. Any actions that are grouped under the action union will play simultaneously.
