If I have an ICE simulation and I want to start out ( sort of like a pre-roll) I use ICE edit - set initial state - however - if I find that my setting are CRAP! uhhh how do i reset it back to the beginning?
Is there any way to reset or should i just save the scene before setting initial state and go back - reload…
or any workflow ideas for this?

Simulate > ICE > Edit > Set Initial State
Or you can look up “initial state” in the XSI doc index for a different suggestion.

Thanks Lucas!
I thought i read the docs thoroughly, and all i could find was how to set it… looks like the jscript that Adam Sale posted is just about the best way to go.
I wonder why that didn’t make it into v7.01 under the simulation->edit button?

Watch out though, it doesn’t work in all circumstances. Like emitting from a volume, I think, nor does it work with some of the more complex systems I’ve put together.

Hey Ciaran,
I’m having trouble getting it to work anyway… I save my scene before i set initial state and reload as a general workaround… a bit old school and drastic but that’s the only thing i could come up with ...
‘ ERROR : Expected ‘;’ - [line 49 in C:\users\pavanz\Softimage\XSI_7.01\Application\Plugins\reset_initial_state.js]
‘ ERROR : 2328 - This file is not a valid plug-in:

To do it manually you can:
- Add an ICE tree in the Modeling region
- Use that tree to delete all particles
- Freeze the modeling region
I think Ronald wrote a plug-in to reset the initial state but I can’t find it at the moment.
