How to Generate New Model

Use Generate New Model for recovery after a model in the Host Encyclopedia is inadvertently deleted, checked out, or overridden. Ordinarily, when you update a model, you send changes but do not send the entire model. However, the Generate New Model option lets you resend the entire model.

If the model already exists in the Host Encyclopedia, delete the model or rename it as you generate a new model.

Important! Use the Generate New Model option only if you have a complete copy of the model on a workstation. Do not use it with a subset.To avoid losing updates, consider whether the model can and should be updated on the host before overriding the checkout status.
