Capture the failure
Provide the application, document, configuration, recent change, and error text. Include a screenshot if it shows the feature tree or problem area. Keep a recoverable copy or revision of the model.Diagnose a failed rebuild
Apply a focused repair
1
Confirm the cause
Check whether the problem is a missing source, changed topology, conflicting constraint, or invalid geometry.
2
Repair the smallest affected area
Restore or replace the intended reference, correct the parameter, or revise the feature. Rebuild after the change.
3
Inspect downstream effects
Check dependent features, dimensions, assembly relationships, and drawings. A cleared error icon is only one part of the check.

Common recovery paths
If an operation was interrupted, ask Adam to inspect the current state before repeating it. For connectivity problems, use Troubleshooting. For drawing checks after a repair, see Drawing review.
