<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">In my practice, I find models that have a significant number of schedules and constructions that are “orphaned”, ie they are no longer referenced.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">It would be useful to have a “model purge” command that allowed us to remove un-referenced components automatically<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Perhaps something like AutoCAD’s purge command, where you could select what types of components you want to purge (eg polygons, schedules, constructions, materials, etc).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If anyone has a procedure to do this efficiently now (with the inp file), I’d be interested to hear it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">If not, I think it’d be a useful add to the next version of eQUEST.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
