If you import a 3D model that is either a neutral format or is being imported from another CAD file type, it may be translated into an assembly of multiple parts, or a single part containing multiple bodies. Depending on your final goal this may not be the ideal format. There are two options to address this problem. First, the import options can be set to prefer one or the other, but that only applies to file types where the structure is not pre-defined. To convert an assembly to a multi-body part or vice-versa, use the Save Bodies command or the Save As Part option to achieve your final outcome. In this video, an animation is required and that can only be performed in an assembly file. Save Bodies and create an assembly will achieve the desired outcome.
