- [Instructor] In this chapter, we've learned about iAssemblies and how we can put together multiple parts, multiple assemblies and we can create multiple variations and configurations. We did that by first learning how to create a simple iAssembly where we took the step assembly and we combined different frame parts with their corresponding tread parts so that we could create a lot of different step sizes and links for our various ladders that we wanted to create. We then looked at the actual iAssembly that we have of our top level step ladder and we looked at all of the different iAssemblies and the iParts that we have that are inside of that file. Then we learned how to actually create configurations and we looked at how we can create that table, how we can suppress or unsuppress parts, how we can decide which variation of each of those parts that we want for all of the different configurations that we created. Now some important rules to remember, is that any time you rename a…
