Restoring a Body Modifier to a Mass Element
Use this procedure to remove a body modifier from a structural member and add it to the drawing as a mass element.
Restoring a body modifier to a mass element enables you to modify the shape as a mass element and then add it to the
structural member again as a body modifier. You can also restore the body modifier to a mass element while leaving
the body modifier still applied to the structural member. This is useful if you want to create other structural members
with the same shape.
If the object used to create the body modifier was a conventional mass element, it is restored to that mass element. For
example, a cylinder mass element is restored as a cylinder mass element. However, if the body modifier was created
from another object, such as a slab, or was edited using Boolean operations or face editing commands, the body modifier
is restored as a Free Form mass element.
