Does anyone know how to change the robot model being used on a M-410/185? By default the robot shows in 4D display a 410 with a pedestal. The type we have is a compact base. In roboguide I know you just double click the robot and select the "Type" of base from the drop down menu and hit apply. However, I can't seem to figure out how to do this on a real controller. It likely doesn't really matter but I'm setting up IIC and DCS with other robots in the system and have to compensate my offsets for the difference in base types and figured there must be a better way.

The robot's origin is at the center of J1 and J2 intersection, so it shouldn't matter what base is on the robot for the DCS setup.
I reproduced your 4D problem though. Can't find a way around that one. Likely an oversight on Fanuc's part.

Thanks for the reply. Now that I have finished setting it up I agree the base doesn't actually matter at all. Originally I thought the offset were based of the bottom of the bases but found out quickly its the world frames, which as you said is at the J1/J2 intersection. Its really just a minor visual bug now that I was hoping to fix if there was a way.

This is a long shot, and likely risky for the payoff, and I haven't investigated it in years, but there may be a way.
You could take an image of the robot, mount it using a drive mount tool in windows. Find the cad representing the base of the robot in it. Extract the compact base cad from roboguide and overwrite it in the image file, then drop the image back into the real robot.
Again, highly risky for the payoff.
