Restoring a Body Modifier to a Mass Element
Use this procedure to remove a body modifier from a stair and add it to the
drawing as a mass element. Restoring a body modifier to a mass element
enables you to modify the shape as a mass element and then add it to the
stair again as a body modifier. You can also restore the body modifier to a
mass element while leaving the body modifier still applied to the stair. This
is useful if you want to create other stairs with the same shape.
If the object used to create the body modifier was a conventional mass element,
it is restored to that mass element. For example, a Gable mass element is
restored as a Gable mass element. However, if the body modifier was created
from another object, such as a slab, or was edited using Boolean operations
or face editing commands, the body modifier is restored as a Free Form mass
element.
