Thus, we'll activate the top-level component to ensure the joints are instead associated with the assembly file. Currently, our three parts are floating in space and can be moved around when you click and drag on them. Revert any movements and we'll want to first ground a single component. Grounding a component will lock it in place, helping us intentionally restrict the movement of parts. It's considered a best practice to ground the component that will serve as the basis for the next joints and components. Let's right-click on the left side panel in the browser, followed by the…
