Delete Unnecessary Views and Sheets

Okay. So we've got our level set. We've set some scope boxes. The next thing we need to do is delete, unnecessary views. So an example of an unnecessary view is this parent mechanical plan. This is again, this is for projects with areas. We don't have any of those, so we don't need that. I just hit delete on that. Another example would be demo. This is a new construction project.

We don't need demo. I could delete that. And so that's fine as far as it goes, but there's quite a lot of views in this project, and hunting and pecking through this hierarchy would take a while. So there's a faster way to do this, which is to change the organization of the project browser. So I'm gonna right click up here to project browser, and I'm gonna say one tier view sort.

So now I can see a lot more, and I have a lot more it's just easier to see things so that I can delete things I don't need. So all the ones with a plus, these are parent views that have dependent ones. I can select all those and delete those and delete the callout views as well. I'll look for anything with demo in it because we don't need demo, and we also don't need existing. So demo, demo.

Again, it doesn't really hurt anything to leave this stuff in here. It's just more stuff you have to wade through as you're working on your project. So it is a good idea to delete it, keep a clean model. But if you're in a hurry, you can skip this step, not existing. That's not good practice to do so.

And then this is all also where you would make a decision, for example, if you knew you weren't gonna have any if you don't do gas mechanical plans, if you only do that on plumbing or you you don't even have any gas on the project or you put them on the main mechanical sheets or plumbing sheets and not don't have separate sheets for it, you could delete those. If you don't if you're not gonna have hydronics for piping, you could delete that. If you're not gonna have zone plan, you could delete that. So you can make make some decisions. If you're not gonna have RCPs, you could delete that.

So that's all a judgment call you get to make. And you can also leave it to the if you're like, if you're not the mechanical person and you're not really sure, you can just leave it for whoever is gonna come in and do the mechanical modeling to clean up their project browser if they wish. It's also fine. Okay. Sure. Give us a good scrub. Not that it yeah. Already got electrical. Fire protection looks alright. And coordination is kind of just a number of different useful views that you may or may not want.

You can also just mostly ignore these if if you don't wanna use anything in there. I see demo. Demos. I'm gonna delete those. Alright. So that's a pretty good cleanup on the views. I can also clean up sheets, so I don't I know I'm not gonna have any mechanical demo sheets. You know, if I again, if I knew I didn't wasn't gonna have gas sheets, could delete those, but I'm gonna leave those in for now. Let's see if for plans demo. Get those.

Okay. So that is good. I've got all that set up. So my views are more or less set up. Oh, here. Let me change the project browser back to three tier view sort.
