Hiding the Skeleton in Frame Generator Part 2 - Using a Reference Part.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.
Benjamin Franklin

Okay, this post didn't quite come out at the end of the week like I promised.  Last week got busy, with trips to Fresno, demos, and a million other little things taking up most of my time.

So finally, here's the post I've been promising.

In my last blog post.  I showed how to hide the skeleton component when using Frame Generator.  In that video, I used a phantom component to do so.

A very astute reader,  Piou2fois,  pointed out that even though the skeleton has been made a Phantom component, it's mass is still added to the overall mass to the assembly.  This can result in an erroneously high number if you're using a solid as your skeleton.

Piou2fois pointed out that by using a Reference Component instead of a Phantom component, the skeleton's mass will be removed from the calculations and you'll get an accurate result for your overall mass.

Use "Reference" instead of "Phantom"

Thanks for the correction, Piou2fois!  Keep it up!

Here's the video showing all the steps!
