Deleted from Warehouse

Chris Fullmer

You deleted it fromt he warehouse AND your hard drive? SU can make .skb backup files in the same folder where the original was. So look for a .skp of te original, or an .skb backup of the original. If you don't have either of those....I'd recommend NOT deleting files from your hard drive, even though you have them safely on the warehouse.

You never know, someone could file false complaints about your warehouse account and have the entire account deleted before you could do anything about it. I would not recommend using that as your only storage location.

No, no, no. I accidentally deleted it from my 3DWH account. But my computer never formed an autosave of the file.

Chris Fullmer

So you never at any point saved it to your hard drive? You always just open it from the warehouse and save it back to the warehouse directly?

Chris is saying Autosave files and and Backup files are 2 separate files. Look for the same filename ending in a .skb extension. Copy and rename it to end in .skp and you should be good.

Yeah, there is NO file AT aLL for the auto save...

Hi Nola,

Try to do what I suggested in the PM. It seems that it recovers deleted models even if tracking history is not checked. At least as I tested it... It will turn track history on and you can revert to the earlier version.

IF it is still on the server I guess.

BTW this whole thing came to my mind because I once experienced a bug in the WH and remembered that it reverts to older versions even if they are deleted.

For those who are interested...

IF you still know the model ID (in this case eb3e4ea22c5c3d3ca37f3fc191551700 as he posted the link here)
make a totally indifferent model (a rectangle will do)...
set the model ID with Jim's plugin
upload the model (when the details are already filled in, it is a good sign)
under the model history, revert back to the earlier version...
I really hope it helps in this case, too. I tried and it worked for me. Who knows of course, how long the models are stored on the server or in the database...

It didn't show the earlier model under history...do you possibly have the model when you tried it? Can you email it to me?

No, I could not try with your MID because it did not let me (that would be your MID). This made me think it had to be somewhere there.

Ok, thanks. Well, i couldn't get it because i did not have model history set earlier...:/ But i got the description! XD Is there a way to do it w/o the history?

Gaieus

Well, in my test history tracking was NOT checked. That's why I thought you could get it back somehow. Maybe if earlier... Who knows?

Anyway, you re-made the model now...

Yeah, its just got some flaws. I can fix it though. Thanks a ton for the help, it was really nice to get some. Well, since the model is remade, i think this thread is officially dead. Thanks!
