Since a lot of work in Maxsurf is iterative and based on trial and error, it is important to make note of the Undo and Redo capability in Maxsurf.

Changes can be Undone from the Edit menu. An action that has been Undone can be redone from the Edit menu as well. In the image below you have the option to redo the deletion of the surface, or undo the most recent control point move.

Each time a change is made Maxsurf stores a copy of the file into the RAM memory of your computer. The number of Undo levels that Maxsurf stores is set in the Edit | Preferences.

Tip

The fastest way to Undo and Redo is by using the Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y shortcut keys respectively.

Save regularly. Additionally use different file names if radical changes are made to the model.

Congratulations! You have now completed the Chapter 3 User Interface.
