Can I undo a thicken from a previous version?

[Anonymous]

I opened up a file that I was working on last night and this morning I wanted to add some more faces in the sculpt environment which I could thicken to be a part of the old body. I'm trying to find a way to undo the thicken from last night, but I haven't found anything. I'm also trying to load an old version, but Fusion seems to be crashing on me when I do that. Is this a possible feature in Fusion?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

When working in the Create Form command, you are in a Direct Edit mode. This means that you will either have to "unthicken" the sculpt body manually. 

When trying to open an old version. Close the design and open the item details from the dashboard (select the name of the design to bring up item details). In the Versions panel, use the Promote command (see below image) to make an old version the current version.

Last, use the Edit command to edit the freshly promoted version. Note that you should see the version number increment after using the promote command.

Let me know if this helps or if you are still having trouble opening an old version.

If you share a copy of the archive file (use export archive from main menu in work space to create F3D file), I'll be happy to suggest a workflow that may help.

Thanks,

Thank you! It seems the way I tried to open an old version was definitely not the way it was meant to be - this is much better! I'm still not 100% on how to "unthicken", but opening a new version solved that for me.

This question remains unanswered - how do you undo a thickening?

It has been answered.

In Sculpt mode you are in direct editing mode (vs. parametric or design history mode)  you'll have to manually un-thicken, tor to be precise, you'll have to manually delete the faces that have been created by the thicken command.

If you are in solid modeling mode with the design story enabled, you'll find a thicken symbol in the timeline that you can delete.
