Hi all a have been editing a profile for months and have found some constant issues with it. Early on I decided to cut a part in half. Later on down the road I decided I wanted those parts back together but could not find an undo selection to “uncut” the parts back to the original. I decided to do a union fitting for the parts but the issue persists. Now I cannot find a way to Undo the Union fitting of parts. I also cannot find a selection to Uncut a previously selected cut. Surely I am missing something here because this is a pretty important part of engineering.
There is the option to Split parts to dissolve a merge.
There is also the “Undo” keyboard shortcut “Ctrl - Z”. (Press “?” to see all the shortcuts)
Any actual model design should be done in CAD. The slicer really only has tools to do quick and dirty edits. It isn’t supposed to be a CAD replacement.

Thankyou sir I’ll check to see if this works
I have a solution for undoing a cut part, rejoining a cut part, when you are too far past using the undo command. For example, you have made many other changes to other parts and don’t want to press undo one hundred times to get to your part cut. Here is the solution: I’m assuming you still have the part cut into two pieces. That piece, as one, is available in the original model STL file. Open that original model file, and select the “whole” part you need. Export as single STL, saving as any name you choose. Go back to your original project, and use the + to add a file to your original project. The part will load in whole. Further: You need it scaled to your older part?? Now, you must keep the older cut part, and select it to see its dimensions. Write down each of the XYZ dimensions, example: 99.2936. Now select the “whole” part, and check box uniform scale (unless you dont need to). Now enter only one of the previously saved dimensions, press tab once. Close the scaler by clicking a blank part of the plate. Now select the new part, and look at the dimensons in the lower right corner. You may see a difference in “x” in the following example: 99.29XX. This difference will not matter in the final print because it is in the thousandsths of a millimeter. Cheers
