So what's cool about this is at this point if we wanted to make any changes to our design it would be updated in the assembly model. And we're actually going to do just that. We're going to add some ergonomics to our handle and make it a little bit more comfortable for the hand and so in doing so we'll actually see in the end that this change that we make to the caddy arm will actually be updated in the full assembly. So if you have your caddy assembly open you can simply right click on the arm and select Open or you can go through the simple steps of opening from your main menu.
