Currently our interiors group is using bentley Architecture to add instance data to a series of 2d cells used in their furniture plans.
They are doing so they can make of the datagroup explorer reporting tools and the Space planning search tools in V8i to create FFE schedules.
This ahs been going well however the question has come up about how to delete instance data from an element.
Is there are tool for this in Bentely Architectue. I have had a look but can only find ways to edit the data not remove it.
Thanks

Hi Reggie,
Yes, that is correct. Components placed thru component specific tools such as walls, doors, slabs, etc., were not intended to have their DG data removed or replaced with a different component type. Elements that have their DG data manually applied, on the other hand, aren't "native" components and therefore can be, well, anything.
Thanks, Steve... so only objects with DataGroup data manually assigned can be edited.
That keyin is only available in CONNECT Edition. In V8i you should be able to use DG Modify to do the same thing. Note in my 2019 reply to Lynn above that this is designed for objects with DataGroup data manually applied to them.
