If for some reason it doesn't you can regenerate by clicking the icon on the top bar with the 3 green boxes and circular blue arrow.

Greg is right on, but another option is to change the select type in the bottom right corner from Smart to Feature. When you double click on a feature now, the dimensions will show up allowing you to change as mentioned above!

Hi there !
I tried assembling the chain members as per the instructions.Since i have a longer curve it really takes a whole lot of time to regenerate.I also wonder if we have to constrain all the members of chain with a slot mechanism (each) to the curve ?.

Or is it enough to just constraint the first member of the chain. My model freezes up due to large number of members each having 2 pins joints ( to connect to other members) and 2 datum points per member being constrained to the curve through slot mechanism.

Thanks,
Murthy
