3D geometry is no longer a body

[davidkingfoster]

Hi all, new to fusion here, 

I recently did something to a 3D geometry that compromised it and turned it from a solid body into a bunch of surface patches. My theory is that when I did a non uniform scale, it disconnected the body from one of the sketches that defines it, but I haven't been able to fix the problem by going back in the timeline before I did the scale. 

Is there a way I can quickly diagnose the problem and fix it? 

Thanks

Yes! Run a Modify->Compute all. It provides ample error messages of the stuff that is broken in the timeline of this design.

With this much stuff broken it is unlikely going to be quick work.

It is best not to ignore warnings and errors. When you do encounter the first message you should STOP and figure out what the root cause is and fix it!

Yeah I think most of those problems are an artifact of when I didn't know the proper way to split a body. 

I have a follow up question- I am trying to go back to previous save states to find the point at which it lost its solid property (I was doing extrusions to cut into it until recently in the design history) but every time I try to load an earlier version it just loads the latest version, or fails to load the earlier one. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong? Is that the best way to diagnose a problem like this?

Thanks

You should always be able to open back versions.  Expand the version list in the data panel, click the "three dot" menu for one of the versions, and choose "Open".  It should open that version.  I have not heard of anyone having trouble with this, but if you are doing this, and it is still not opening, perhaps you are seeing something different.

I figured it out- I was trying to open the previous save state as I had the latest save state open, and it got confused and didn't actually open anything. I tried again on a new project tab and I got the version I was looking for. Anyway I think I can fix my problem now. Thank you for the help!
