    Remove Instance Data

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer (and AECOsim Building Designer)
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition and V8i
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Datagroup System
      Subarea: Instance Data

    Overview

    Instance data applied to non-DataGroup elements may need to be removed. Sometimes if the applied data needs to be completely changed, e.g. to a different Type altogether, it can be quicker to remove the existing Instance Data and reapply with the new data type and values.

    Method

    CONNECT Edition

    In CONNECT Edition we have added a button to the Ribbon: AECOsim > Data/Reporting > Detach (Detach Instance Data). This can be used on individual elements or on selection sets:

    There is also a key-in that may be used in macros or batch processes: DGEX DETACH DATA

    V8i

    In V8i the following sequence can be used to detach individual instances:

    • Choose the Modify Instance Data tool
    • Select the object, the Modify DataGroup Data dialog will pop up
    • Right-click on the object name in the left side pane
    • Choose Delete.

    This will not work for multiple selections
