Can you resurrect isolated geometry using the formula editor?

Isolated geometry refers to elements like surfaces, lines, or points that have lost their parametric links to their original construction features. This often happens due to operations like isolating elements or importing non-native files. Such geometry is denoted by a red lightning symbol in the specification tree and cannot be directly edited or updated. To resurrect isolated geometry using the formula editor:

1. Identify the isolated geometry
   • Locate the isolated element in the specification tree (e.g., an isolated surface or line).
2. Access the formula editor
   • Right-click on the isolated element and select object > edit formula.
3. Define the geometry using constructors
   1. In the Formula Editor, use constructors from the dictionary to rebuild the geometry. For example:
   2. Use point(x, y, z) for points.
   3. Use spline(point1, point2, …) for curves.
   4. Use extrude(spline, direction, limit1, limit2) for surfaces.
      Example formula for an extruded surfacetextextrude(spline(point(0mm, 0mm, 50mm), point(50mm, 100mm, 50mm), point(60mm, 140mm, 50mm), point(200mm, 80mm, 50mm)), direction(0mm, 0mm, 1mm), 50mm, 20mm, false)
4. Apply and validate
   • Click OK to apply the formula. The geometry will regenerate with parametric links restored.
