Forgot a part in an exploded view

[ToddReitz]

Hi,
I'm new to exploded views.
I'm doing them manually and on a couple occasions I realized that I missed a part during my selection.

Is there a way I can include that missed part in an event group that has already been created?

If the part that you missed was suppose to be the last one in the event you can simply explode it, using the current last one as the base part. If the part was suppose to be somewhere in the middle of the event, it is best to re-explode the whole event. It is not necessary to unexploded or delete the current event, just re-select the parts. Or what you can also do is to follow the first step and then reposition the part to the correct position.

Kind regards,

If I understand you correctly, if you explode the forgotten part using the same 'base part' and face as the original explode then it will get put into that event group. To adjust the spacing/what order it is in in the explode you can just play with the explode distances or use reorder - though as toffeet says sometimes it's easier to do over.

Thanks guys.
I'll try that.
I was hoping I could simply drag the forgotten part into the proper explode group in the tree, but I guess not.
