Control + Q or Force Regen

Tue 12/7/1999 Tip #3

Verification on rebuild also known as Control + Q is a very powerful way to find errors.

     This option can be turned on at all times in the options dialog box.  Click Tools àOptions à Performance, and select the Verification on rebuild checkbox.  I do not suggest checking this box because it can slow down all of your work.  Because anytime you click the rebuild button it will rebuild with verification.       

    Let me explain.  A normal rebuild (the little green light on the tool bar) starts from the last feature worked on in the feature manager tree and rebuilds from there down.  A Control + Q starts at the top of the feature manager tree regardless of what was worked on last and verifies for errors.

    If your model looks incorrect (missing lines, not updated, loft or sweep not looking correct) run a Control + Q.  You can do a Control + Q at any time.  A word to the wise:  It takes about 3 time longer for a Control + Q to run than a regular rebuild.  A good idea to run before release but not to get into a habit as I have every time you want to rebuild, unless you only work on small parts and assemblies.

Just in case I wasn’t clear Control + Q is the Ctrl and the Q button pressed at the same time.
