I have updated to Tekla Structural Designer 2017 SP1 (v17.0.1.41) and many of the commands on the Review ribbon tab, Show\Alter State group have disappeared. How do I get them back?

The Show/Alter State Command

The new Show/Alter State command has combined the functionality of all the individual missing commands.

Once the Show/Alter State command is invoked the Properties Window > General [A]ttribute property allows the missing command option to be selected as shown in the screenshot below.

Functionality has also been extended via the Options, Filter and Scene areas of the Properties Window.

Please refer to the related article "How do the Property Window options work when using the Review view > Show/Alter State command?" linked on the right hand side.
