Let's go over and work on isolating this assembly, the one that has the T in our route that we created a little earlier. So, I'm going to click on that, right-click, and then come up to Isolate, which will be about in the center of the menu that pops up. So I'm going to select that. And now you'll see that the rest of my assembly drops away. All I have is the route, and the items that are contained in that routes of assembly. That includes our pipes, elbows, reducers, and our flanges that they were connected to because we added those to the sub assembly.
