Articulations to model elements can be added around any axis and degrees desired. Solar panels can be designated, including efficiency percentages and the ability to rotate. Assembly hierarchies can be easily modified from the original CAD or polygonal by drag-and-drop. Ancillary information (articulations, attach points, etc.) can be modified...
