VIDEO A quick comparison of Quick Undelete , Member Undelete and Visual Undelete . (Recorded in SDS2 Detailing , v7.2.)

VIDEO How the Release Deleted Members utility relates to Quick Undelete , Member Undelete and Visual Undelete in Modeling . Home probably looks different in the version of the SDS2 program that you are using, but the utility still works the same. (Recorded in SDS2 Detailing , v7.2.)
  • Deleted members are members that have been removed from the model using tools such as Delete or Erase Member . Member Undelete opens a selection list of deleted members, from which you can select the members you want to undelete. The various configurations of that selection list are described here .
  • Unlike Quick Undelete , Member Undelete can be used to undelete members that were deleted during previous Modeling sessions. If no members have been deleted in your current session ( situation 2 ), then all members will be shown. If members have been deleted in your current session ( situation 1 ), you can select " Show all " for those members deleted from other sessions to be shown.
  • So long as you have not run the Release Deleted Members utility, Member Undelete can be used to undelete any member that has ever been deleted in your current Job . If you have run the Release Deleted Members utility, then Member Undelete can be used to undelete any member that was deleted since the time that utility was last run.
  • You cannot undelete a member whose member line exactly aligns with the member line of a member that currently exists in the model. Instead of undeleting the member, Member Undelete gives you the following warning: " Unable to undelete member [num] due to overlap with member [num] ." However, you can undelete a member whose member line is, for example, parallel to but 1 inch higher than a member in the model -- it is your responsibility to ensure that the member materials do not clash.

Situation 1
Situation 2
  • Situation 1: You have deleted members in your current session of Modeling . Unless you select " Show all ," the list of members from which you choose to undelete shows only those members that were deleted in that session. By default, the members are listed by " Group ." Members that were deleted simultaneously are in a single group. The groups are numbered in the order in which they were deleted, with the first deleted group identified as " Group 1 " and the second group deleted identified as " Group 2 ." If you want to list each member separately by its piecemark and member number, you can select " Piecemark ." " Show all " lets you undelete members that were deleted in previous sessions as well as your current session.
  • Situation 2: If there are no deleted members in your current session of Modeling , the list of members that you can choose to undelete includes all deleted members in all Modeling sessions since the Release Deleted Members utility was last run. The " Show all " and " Piecemark " radio buttons are not visible since the complete deleted members list is already shown and the members are already listed by piecemark and member number. " Group " is not an option.
  • When using Member Undelete , you should -- but don't have to -- be in a view where the undeleted members will be shown. The members you select will be undeleted even if you cannot see their return to the model.
  • Once a member has been undeleted, it and the members it connects to automatically undergo Process and Create Solids if " Automatically process after modeling operation " is set to ' Process and create solids '.
  • If the box for " Member operations " under " Job " is checked in Event Logging Setup , the undeletion of members is recorded to the " Log " that is found on your current Job's Edit Properties window ( Home > Project Settings > Job > Job Property Settings ). It is also recorded to the " Log " of the undeleted member.
