Just wanted say that “Revert To” feature just saved me two days of work.
Working on a design for the last two days. I got it to the point where I could show my client for approval.
They had some changes they wanted to make… so I open the project and started working the changes.
Worked a few hours on the changes, they called back and said to nix the changes… they were going to go with the original design. Thats when I realized that instead of duplicating the document first (like I should have) … I just started woking away on the original. I had already saved over my original design and I didn’t have a back up.
Got some coffee to calm my frustration and self loathing in what I had done… OMG… I’m going to have to start from scratch… Wait! Whats this Revert To command. It like Time Machine for Rhino. Hey, there is my original document! Bam! I got it back.
I have never used this command command before… but thank goodness it was there!
I have this feeling of euphoria right now… I just wanted to say Thank You to someone at McNeel for this feature.
In retrospect…I guess I could have used my mac Time Machine backup drive to recover the file, but it is so nice to have this feature within the app. It will be especially nice when I am on the road without my backup drive.
Excellent point … but this is the method I use for my class. Some people have enough trouble making a folder in the right place, so I don’t plan to ever mention scripting.
For myself, I will definitely look into it. Thanks!
just btw (Mac forum)… that happens automatically on Mac… the difference being that you don’t end up with a bunch of different files… all Versions (as apple calls them) are stored in the single file…
you can browse through prior iterations, copy/paste between different versions, restore to prior versions, etc… (such as the scenario outlined in the original post)
Great tip! I didn’t know that the “Version” document was something I could click on and copy elements from. I can see this coming in very useful when I have edited a part and need to get it back for the current document. Thanks.
I am having a problem in Rhinoceros. I was working on a model and suddenly save it by mistake, I didn’t wanted to save it since I need the model the way it is before being saved. Any clue how to return my original model the way it is?
