  • You must have write access to both the current and backup versions of the model to use Paste and Restore.

  • If any object selected for Paste and Restore in the current model has an Approved status, you cannot use Paste and Restore.

  1. Open a session in Smart 3D that points to a model restored from a backup of the current model.

    To use Paste and Restore for a partial restore, your project administrator must back up the current model in the Project Management task. When you need to restore objects from a backup of the model data, the project administrator makes the backup data available as an additional model in the Project Management tree using the Restore model for selective recovery of model objects option in the Restore Wizard. For more information, see Restore a Backup Model for Selective Recovery in an Active Model in the Project Management User's Guide.

  2. In a graphic view or the Workspace Explorer, select objects in the backup model.

  3. In the Common task, Click Edit > Copy (CTRL + C).

  4. Click a reference point (from point) on an object in the select set.

    SHARED Tip You can click any point, as Paste and Restore enforces the Paste in place option.

  5. Open another session in Smart 3D that points to your current model.

  6. In the Common task, click Edit > Paste and Restore to display the Paste Dialog Box.

    The Selection column shows the original system and relationships associated with the object.

  7. Provide information as required to complete the paste operation, and then click OK.

    Backup versions of the objects are restored to the current model. Relationships are adjusted, depending on permissions. The To Do List is updated if necessary.

  8. Delete any restored objects that are not needed.

Returning the current model to the state of the backup model

If you are returning everything in the current model to the state of the backup model, you must delete any objects that were created after the restore date.

  1. Click Tools > Select by Filter to create a filter to find any objects created after the creation date of the backup database.

  2. Select More from the Locate Filter list to display the Select Filter dialog box.

  3. Select your new filter.

  4. Click Select , and fence-select the entire model in a graphic view.

  • It is often helpful when using this command to verify which session is active. You can view the name of the current session, task, Model, and filter on the title bar of the application and on the Windows task bar.

  • You can change the graphic display in the backup model graphic view to show a clear visual difference between the two models by changing the background in Tools > Options.

  • When using Paste and Restore, the Selection column of the Paste dialog box displays the original system associated with the object. You can change the association by selecting a different system in the Workspace Explorer. If the original system associated with the object has been deleted from the active model, then the Selection column of the Paste dialog box is blank. You can create a new association by selecting a system in the Workspace Explorer.
