has anyone experienced loosing parts of a model after hiding them ?
Ive been working on a project for months, hiding and unhiding parts as I go, I opened it yesterday and the unhide feature did nothing. tried the usual and then noticed the file size is only a few kb - so its not just hidden, its gone. thx
I haven’t experienced it myself but I have seen cases where others have inadvertently hit Erase instead of Hide in the Context menu. Could that be what happened in your case?
Unfortunately if you were erasing groups or loose geometry, those things would be gone. With components you would still have them In Model and could bring them back out from the Components panel. Generally using tags assigned to objects (groups and components) to control visibility is a better and safer option.
Yes. That’s good although it is still just hiding. And it’s actually been available since Outliner was introduced. They just made it easier and safer to use.
