Restore Model To Initial Loaded State 2

[jzecha]

I work with people who are not the best at navigating Catia and they have requested a way to restore a model to its initial load status.

They get into issues going through the models as they build the tools and hide different parts and then they are unable to find the parts and un-hide them.

The simple solution is to close down Catia and reload the product.
Most of the people hate reloading the model, so I want to create a button the reloads the tool in session.

But I want to know if there is a way to reload the model in session to match the saved status?

Hi

I don't think is possible but a macro to unhide all solids can be done for sure.

Or maybe we can imagine a macro to get the status of all solids when opening the first time, save in a file the status, then another macro to read that file and restore the initial status...

I have already done down the path to unhide all solids, which works sometimes.
The issue is when a customer provided model has a bunch of other solids hidden that are not part of the tool.

I like the second idea, any idea where I would even start to do something like that?

can you create a scene to define state0 and reaply the scene when stuff changed to much ?
not sure scene grab the info of solid visibility but someone could try
